The Unpresidented Brass Band commands attention in Portland's Old Town Historic District during a March 2026 anti-monarchy demonstration. Musicians in vibrant yellow shirts wield gleaming tubas and sousaphones beneath winter-bare trees, their instruments catching the crisp afternoon light. Protest signs declaring "CRUSH ICE" and other political messages create a backdrop of civic unrest, while the band's theatrical energy transforms Southwest Ankeny Street into a stage for musical resistance against perceived authoritarianism.
