I also joined in with School of Honk...


Wide view from the bass section...


HONKfests tend to have after party where folks from different bands eat, rest, shmooze, and jam together...


Banda Rim Bam Bum (from Santiago, Chile) was one of the featured traveling bands... (along with Young Fellaz Brass Band from New Orleams) - they play accompanied by this deathly figure, blowing bubbles from a handheld bubblegun...

Arriving early to the parade staging (and by early I mean on time) I took this photo to ask my band "where is everyone?")

Noam took some shots during our mainstage closer Bella Ciao...


A word about Eze - he kinda became the 8th grade prodigy of HONK!fest, central with JP Honk and The Party Band but sitting in with everyone from ENSMB to Young Fellaz to the pickup band. While all credit is to him (and his parents), I'm proud of how JP Honk opened some interesting musical paths for him, back he was around 5, playing along on toy instruments with his older brother Gio a little further along on the trumpet.


We had a few more performances and then some of us went to a protest for prison justice at the Suffolk County Detention Center.


Another after party...


This was the 10th Annual Sousaphone Leg-Off... I played and sang "Tubas in the Moonlight"
