CapPride to perform at 2009 Columbus Pride Festivities!

The Capital Pride Marching Band will make its 7th annual appearance at Columbus Pride on Saturday, June 20.  The band will march in the Pride Parade, which steps off from the State Capitol at 1PM and heads north on High Street through the Short North.  Catch performances by the band at 11:30 AM at the Pride Mini Stage near the Statehouse and at approximately 2:50 PM at the performing arts stage at Goodale Park.  Both stage shows will include a special joint performance with our sister band from the Lesbian & Gay Band Association, The Pride of Indy.  This will be the first performance in Columbus for our friends from Indianapolis, who will also be marching in the parade, so please make them feel welcome!

New Members Always Welcome!

If you have questions or concerns before you are ready to take that giant leap, please send them to info@CapPride.org or call Kevin at 614-325-1590.
