"We never know if people are going to throw bottles or panties"

The Extra Action Marching Band exists in a world between traditional marching band and ecstatic turmoil. This generously-portioned, smartly-attired group of up to 40 performers include a hypnotic drum corps, a smoking horn section, a bullhorn virtuoso, an aggressively friendly pep squadron, and a sultry flag team who, although not famous for their good taste, know how to work the crowd into a high state of horny hilarity with their graceful, in-your-face stunts and dizzying routines. Together the group delivers a deliriously engaging show with an emphasis on torrid rhythm, spontaneous and unrestrained expression, thunderous upheaval, and remote-controlling the collective ass of crowds everywhere. Extra Action: a frightfully charming parade happening anytime, anyplace, anticipated or not! No venue too large or too small.

"Watching the 40 members of the Extra Action Marching Band jam is sort of like going to your high school's football half-time show on acid, except it's more acidic. This group is full of "school spirit," having rocked San Francisco's LGBT Pride Parade, block parties, and war protests. And since there are as many percussionists in the band as there are students in a public school classroom, you're not likely to stand still when the Extra Action Marching Band comes trampling in."
