DC’s Different Drummers had their historic first performance at a Washington Football Team game. This performance was in connection with TeamDC and also featured performances by the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, who will be singing “America the Beautiful.”
There was a moment to honor first responders and frontline workers, featuring representatives from various LGBTQ and LGBTQ-friendly community organizations, including Whitman-Walker Health, Mary’s Center, and Food and Friends, notes Brent Minor, the executive director of Team DC.
Vice President of Guest Experience for the Washington Football Team Joey Colby-Begovich says the organization first became interested in partnering with Team DC after hosting an internal employee event, as part of the company’s diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, featuring a panel discussion with some members of the Capital Pride Alliance and Minor, as the representative of Team DC.
