Announcements

Local Rehearsals are cancelled on Discord because...

...we'd like everyone who is able to please come to the Dress Rehearsal instead of the local rehearsals these next couple of weeks. (It makes for a great excuse to also prep for No Kings!)

Denver Protests Podcast would like to interview Notes of Dissent

The floor is open for a chance to speak about the band, the chance is here! If you'd like to be the one to talk about how it started, how it's going, what makes people want to join, and music in protesting history, then please send Birb or Nathan a DM! This will be all online and take about 45 minutes.
