D.C.'s Different Drummer's
Welcome to DCDD
DC's Different Drummers is the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender music organization including the Capitol Pride Symphonic Band (CPSB), DC Swing! big band, Marching Band, Pep Band, and several small ensembles. We welcome all of our friends and supporters in this our 29th year!
In addition to creating fine music, our goals are to have fun, play with pride, work together, and educate others. Although we have differing backgrounds, experiences, talents and abilities, we share the goal of excellence in music.
As a volunteer community musical organization, we have in our ranks professional musicians, music students, former members of the top military bands, and individuals whose last musical performances date back to their high school or college days.
Please contact our Membership Director for information on performing and volunteering with us!
