Minor Mishap Marching Band

Minor Mishap Marching Band is a 35 piece renegade brass band- Rue Bourbon meets Budapest. Datri started Minor Mishap in the fall of 2008 with the desire to create a Klezmer street band and to bring more community into her life. From its rag-tag beginnings, Minor Mishap has grown into a 35 piece (with 45 actual members) brass band. Datri writes most of the music, and provides the musical direction, conducting and band leadership for the project.

Fun, loud and in the street! Minor Mishap Marching Band, a 35 piece unruly circus-punk-brass band: Rue Bourbon meets Budapest, was started on a wild hare by Austin musician, Datri Bean. She was inspired by a love of street music, brass bands, and spectacle, as well as a desire to create community and reinvent public spaces. Over the three years since its inception, it has grown to be a 35 member ensemble, performing all over Austin; New Orleans Mardi Gras Parades: Thoth, Druids and Muses; Art Outside, Austin; the Greensteam Festival, Austin; Honk Fest, Boston; Honk West, Seattle; and many SXSW related events. March 11th, 12th and 13th, members of Minor Mishap Marching Band will be presenting HonkTX, a festival of community street bands which will feature twenty community street bands playing free in the streets of Austin.
