THE MILLION DOLLAR BAND was built in 1983 to perform at street fairs; it told the true story of a World War I Army Band from North Dakota, and reported the fact that we allocate more funds for military bands than for all of the National Endowment for the Arts [NEA] – it was a protest of the Reagan era arms build-up! |

The show had a successful life on the street through out the Pacific Northwest and was often invited inside to play, once at the Veterans Hospital in Seattle for example, and in a Nordstrom store window as part of a downtown arts fair! It's final performances were included in a 1990 art exhibit titled, "Sound Vision" at the Center on Contemporary Art [CoCA] in Seattle -- when it was reported that marching bands were indeed included in the war against Iraq and that we were still spending more on military music than for all of the programs funded by the NEA!
