LET THE BAND PLAY
ARCHIVAL 11”X14” PRINT
Let the Band Play celebrates the rich tradition of African American marching bands, particularly those from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This vibrant painting explores the transmission of this musical heritage to new generations, as three children play instruments skyward. The work highlights how bands have transformed the marching band experience by infusing it with creativity and performance flair, moving beyond traditional military styles to become celebrated embodiments of African American musical and cultural identity.
