Subject: RE: National Accordion Awareness Month
I don't know about marching bands, but in earlier days accordion bands were a big thing. Like harmonicas at one time too.
There are still some accordion orchestras around - they usually don't play the bass side in the arrangements - which I find disappointing.
I know of the Queensland Accordion Orchestra, but no contact details.
Also was a group on the Gold Coast.
