Tuesday Night Party

Join us for a fun-filled evening on March 18, 2025! We will kick off the festivities with music from the Tulane Green Wave Brass Band, followed by the 2nd Annual Drag Show featuring an amazing group of performers you won't want to miss! 

Tulane Green Wave Brass Band

The Green Wave Brass Band (GWBB) is a select Tulane Bands ensemble that studies, rehearses, and performs New Orleans Traditional Jazz and Modern Brass Band music through an immersive learning and playing experience. Under the direction of Andy Bower and Andrew Szypula, the Tulane and Loyola University students in the GWBB learn and study the musical traditions of New Orleans by working and performing side-by-side with professional New Orleans musicians and culture-bearers. The GWBB will perform from 7:00 to 8:00 pm CT. 

Drag Show

We are excited to announce the performers for NASPA’s 2nd Annual Drag Show! We encourage attendees to continue to learn, celebrate, and advocate for the transformative power of drag and the communities it represents. Following the Tulane Green Wave Brass Band, seating will open prior to the show beginning at 8:30 pm CT in the Hilton Riverside St. Charles Ballroom! We invite you to learn more about The History of Drag: A Celebration of Art, Identity, and Resilience.
