D.C.’s Different Drummers is a lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender music organization welcoming ALL musicians as it fosters pride, inclusivity, and engagement with the greater Washington, D.C. region through music. D.C.’s Different Drummers started in 1980 with 7 musicians who got together in an apartment in Washington, DC, to play through some books of college fight songs. The first song played by the band was “On Wisconsin!”. Today their membership has well over 125 people with ensembles that cover classical, jazz, contemporary, marching music, and winter guard. They play all over the DC metro region, and draw membership from the LGBT community and their supporters in the National Capital Region while striving to create music and fellowship.
