In Atlanta, joyful noise is made by the Seed & Feed Marching Abominable – our region’s proudly weird marching band comprises all volunteer players.

The group has been a fixture of the yearly Inman Park Parade for decades. In fact, they’re celebrating their 50th anniversary at this year’s parade.

Described by its founder Kelley Morris as “a band for the sake of its own effect,” unbound to any brand, business or political agenda, the Marching Abominable unleashed its joy on the unsuspecting community in 1974, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
