Orkest Asfalto is a alternative marching drum corps loosely modeled on the Brazilian percussion blocos. It was a spin-off of the original theatre performance group Balé Techlorico.

Orkest Asfalto operated as an ongoing class and drum corps from 2004-2008 in San Francisco.   The group performed for the San Francisco Day of the Dead march as well as other small shows and festivals.

• A history of Orkest Asfalto can be found here; with a brief addendum asnwering the question "Why"?
• A favorite photo of the group performing for the SF Day of the Dead parade in 2007.
  
• Video and audio of a short festival performance are here.

Plans are underway to restart the group in Paris, France, where Greg Beuthin currently lives (mid-2009).
