The Blozn Tuches Marching Band is a rag-tag ensemble that was put together by Austin musician Datri Bean. Since this video was made, the band has changed its name to Minor Mishap Marching Band. The music is Eastern European, with a decidedly klezmer emphasis. The band made its debut in the Grand Procession of First Night Austin 2009, as part of the "Bee" section of the Austin Bike Zoo's parade of insects. Datri conducts from a custom-made, bicycle-powered directors platform. A bunch of the band members get to ride on a super cool bicycle-powered bee band bike. The filmmaker normally plays snare drum in the band but put it down to film this dress rehearsal on December 28, 2008.
Best human powered parade bikes on the planet.
Pretty fair marching band, too!!
