Special Announcement:
In honor of our friends we lost this week in Seattle, we are planning two memorial events during HONK! Fest West.
The first will take place at the start of the procession from Oxbow Park to Georgetown at 5:45 on Friday night. There will be 60 seconds of silence at 5:44pm, followed by the joyous noise of HONK! marching down the street.
The second will be on Sunday at Seattle Center, and this will be the proper second line sendoff. We will exit EMP at 4pm as a mass band playing this piece -

We will gather at the International Fountain for 60 seconds of silence at 4:20pm then at 4:21, we begin the most raucous second line and send these boys home. At 4:40pm, we are due to play Mini Maker Faire at Seattle Center, so the procession will keep moving!
All are welcome to come and play our friends home.

" HONK! Fest West 2012 is a free, three-day, community-supported music festival devoted to marching bands, drum corps, samba lines, and anything acoustic and mobile that makes a ruckus. We revel in celebration of street band culture by taking mirth and music to the streets and parks of Seattle.
Always family-friendly, always free :: fanciful costumery and audience participation are *highly* encouraged!
Friday evening, June 1st, we’ll be back taking Georgetown by storm in or around the intersection of 12th Ave. S. and S. Vale St. from 6–10 pm http://g.co/maps/r8xmf
Saturday June 2nd, we’ll be back in Gas Works Park (Wallingford/Fremont) for a free & family-friendly day of fun, from noon till 6 pm. http://g.co/maps/pas94
Sunday June 3rd, we’ll be in the EMP Sky Church (Seattle Center) from 2–4 pm. Following that, we’ll be rompin’ around Seattle Center grounds! http://g.co/maps/wsjmr
Wow, with so many times and places, we hope everyone finds something to enjoy! And we hope that many of you will keep coming back for more — remember, there are nearly 25 bands to see! "
