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.[1][2]

Originally named the Lady Godiva Memorial Band, the group has been renamed since its founding to the Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad, with the title "Bnad" purposely misspelled.[3]

While the band has traditional marching band instrumentation, members can also be seen with objects such as stop signs, fire bells, jugs, and frying pans.[1][4]

Similar bands exist in engineering faculties at the University of Manitoba (Engineering Symonized Marching Band [sic]) and the University of British Columbia (Godiva Band).[5][6]

Some notable past members of the LGMB include Don Monro (1961–1966) and Bob Bossin (1966–1969).[7]
