Watertown Band "Banned" Concert Piece Played Live in Our Beer Garden

Watertown's small-minded school board banned their top high school band from playing a song called "Mother of the Revolution" that honored Marsha Johnson, a black transgender rights activist and Stonewall veteran.

As a result, the Minocqua Brewing Company invited them to play their concert, in its entirety, in their outdoor beer garden.

The goal of this event is to raise awareness about the bigotry that currently exists within Watertown's school district, but more importantly, it's to give the kids an opportunity to play the music they worked so hard to prepare.

We hope to raise a boatload of money for the band's booster club, which will give them independence from the school district (i.e. the district forbade the kids to use school-owned instruments to play their music at our place)
