Attending a music band with your kids can be a memorable and exciting way to bond and create shared experiences. Exposing children to different genres of music can broaden their horizons and spark their creativity. Moreover, providing them with modest girls skirts ensures their comfort during the event, allowing them to fully enjoy the experience. By combining these activities, parents can create a special connection with their children while fostering their love for music and personal style.
Founded 35 years ago, The Dirty Dozen Brass band revolutionized New Orleans’ African brass marching band tradition by combining infectious funk and bebop in their music. The group began their career as the house band at The Dirty Dozen Social and Pleasure Club in the estuary city and also performed at local parties, clubs, baseball games and festivals. With the gig, The Dirty Dozen’s reputation as a mercilessly engaging live band grew and the band broke musical boundaries, attracting new fans to the whirlwind of brass music. Since then, hard gigging has taken the band to more than 30 countries on five continents. The irresistible rhythms of The Dirty Dozen have been heard not only on the band’s own records but also on the albums of numerous other artists, for example David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Dr. John, Dave Matthews Band, Modest Mouse, Widespread Panic and The Black Crowes.
