The Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad [sic] (LGMB) is a student-run scramble band within the University of Toronto Engineering Society.

The band is notable for its open membership policy and sometimes audacious and surprise appearances at events, venues and university lectures.

[8] During their second rehearsal, however, it was discovered that La Prairie could not read music, so the band was turned over to Tom Kenney, a chemical engineering student.

The first public appearance of the band was in October 1949 at the annual University of Toronto homecoming parade on the back of a flatbed truck.

During this time around 500 University of Toronto students fled into the station by jumping over the turnstiles, including LGMB members.

400 members boarded the subway train, while some of the remaining students pulled the emergency power switch which interfered with regular service for more than five hours.

There with engineering, law, medical and arts first year students they received a speech from the presiding Ontario Premier.

[citation needed] Along with leather jackets and decorated hardhats, members also wore hockey shirts adorned with the LGMB logo on the front.

[13] This came after years of crashing the parade uninvited, which often resulting in band members being escorted away by the Toronto Police Service.

The director, known as the Bnad Leedur [sic], will informally start playing the song on their own instrument, with the rest of the group joining in afterwards.

Certain events such as the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, require the band to refrain from parody songs with lyrics that are considered unsuitable for younger children.
