Banda de Ipanema is not exclusively oriented to drag queens. People of all age groups and sexual orientations participate in the event. This page is a tribute to the Boysfrom the Band.
They may not be as flamboyant as the drag queens, but they are always here - sometimes in large groups with coordinated costumes. We tried to make this selection as eclectic as possible, so get ready to see a little (or a lot) of everything!
