The Lesbian and Gay Band Association will march in the 57th inaugural parade following the swearing in of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

More than 2,800 applications were submitted to perform in the parade, more than double the number of applicants in 2009.

?The talented groups chosen to participate in the Inaugural Parade reflect the spirit, values, and diversity of our gr...eat nation,? said President Obama. ?Vice President Biden and I are honored to have them join us in the parade.?

The Band has announced the music selections on their website, writing "after many hours of listening to arrangements and pouring over styles and composers we have come up with a very exciting array of music.

In no particular order? DRUMROLL PLEASE?

Something old and classic and very LGBA,
to play in front of the President:
Tonight from ?West Side Story? by Leonard Bernstein

Something new and rockin?:
Give Me Everything (Tonight) popularized by Latino American rapper Pitbull

Something patriotic and powerful:
A mash up of sorts of Battle Hymn Republic
and Simple Gifts

Something with flair:
Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga

We are very excited about the variety of music we have come up with and feel that these will represent LGBA very well.

The band previously participated in President Obama's 2009 inaugural parade. Watch the video below:
