The Great American Yankee Freedom Band was a gay marching band established in Los Angeles in 1978, following the lead of San
Francisco's Gay Freedom Day Marching Band and Twirling Corps, founded earlier that same year. The Lesbian and Gay Band Association
was "a national organization founded [in 1983] to encourage and perpetuate the community band movement in the lesbian and
gay community."
Flyers, performance programs, correspondence, bylaws, meeting minutes, clippings, press releases, financial documents, member
lists, posters, photographs, memoranda, and conference materials primarily documenting Great American Yankee Freedom Band
in Los Angeles, a gay marching band established in 1978. The bulk of the materials concern the band's performances and fundraising
activities. The collection also includes a folder documenting a 1983 conference held by the Lesbian and Gay Band Association
in Washington, D.C.
