More Than a Marching Band: The Christian Warriors

from On The Record · host WYPR 88.1 FM Baltimore

Beyond the cacophony of bass drums, cymbals and snares, we hear about why participation in The Christian Warriors, a marching band in West Baltimore, means so much more than making music together. We meet the band’s assistant director, James Parker, who played in the drumline as a young teen. Founder and director Reverend Ernest King tells us about the legacy of dedication and community support that has held it all together.Do you have a question or comment about a show or a story idea to pitch?
