An avant-garde marching band of experimental musicians exploring the unexpected art spaces of Nuit Blanche. They will be travelling throughout the festival spaces presenting impromptu, mobile, mini-concerts. They will play with the expectations that come with a marching band, including costuming, relating sound to movement, playing as part of a cultural ritual, and accompanying the spectacle of the festival, all through the lens of an experimental improvising music ensemble that finds itself outside in downtown Saskatoon.
