  • MarchFourth Marching Band is an American musical and performance group based in Portland, Oregon. They perform mostly instrumental brass band music in a marching band style, combined with a visual performance by stiltwalkers and fire- and flag-dancers. They have opened for No Doubt and Pink Martini and have toured Germany, British Columbia and the United States. MarchFourth performs both original works and cover songs. The name derives from the date of the band's creation, March 4 2003, Fat Tuesday. MarchFourth consists of a 12-piece brass section, a ten-piece percussion section and a single electric bass guitar, as well as four stiltwalkers and a six-member female dance troupe. The band member's uniforms are mismatched, and resemble cast-off traditional marching band uniforms. The percussion section's drum harnesses are made from bicycle parts. MarchFourth's music retains influences from klezmer and swing styles of music, among others. MarchFourth Marching Band was voted "Best Local Band" in 2004 by readers of Willamette Week alternative weekly newspaper and the August 2007 issue of Travel + Leisure magazine featured MarchFourth Marching Band in an article about Portland. Since MarchFourth performed as the opening act for No Doubt, lead singer Gwen Stefani has featured a marching band in her solo albums.
