Mile High Freedom Band
The Mile High Freedom Band is an established
charitable organization serving the GLBT community in Denver for over 23
years. In addition, we collaborate with other musical organizations throughout
the Denver metropolitan area and beyond, including the Littleton Community
Music Association (LCMA). We are also a member of an international organization
the Lesbian and Gay Bands Association (LGBA), having participated in performances
around the world in support of the Federation of Gay Games (FGG).
The members of the BAND have joined together as a not-for-profit organization,
building community for the purpose of developing a professional quality musical
group. The Mile High Freedom Band is open to ALL who respect the diversities
in life, including the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered (GLBT) community.
Through performances and other activities, the Mile High Freedom Band provides
educational, cultural and social enrichment for its Members and its audience
and makes a positive contribution to the community.
History
In April of 1984, a small group of instrumentalist got together to create
the Denver "Gay and Lesbian Community Band," founded by Bob Brown.
Bob's original goal was to provide a forum for men and women, of all backgrounds,
to create music together, educate the community, and meet new friends.
A few months later, our name was changed to the "Mile High Freedom
Band." The band's purpose remains to this day: to provide educational,
cultural and social enrichment for its members and audience. Furthermore,
we support our community at large providing entertainment as well as GLBT
awareness.
