Collection Historical Note

Formed in 1980, the Oak Lawn Symphonic Band is a non-profit musical organization that promotes the acceptance and support of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Allies (LGBTA) community particularly within Dallas and Texas in general. “As such, we provide a welcoming and supportive environment for performers regardless of gender identity, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and musical ability.” The Oak Lawn Symphonic Band has performed at countless venues, parades, and events including: the inauguration ceremonies for Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, the Gay Games, and the March on Washington.

As of November 2017, the Oak Lawn Symphonic Band rehearses every Monday evening from 7:30-9:30 p.m. at the Oak Lawn United Methodist Church and welcomes new members.
