	The LGMB tries to play an assortment of Skule-spirit, drinking, Christmas, and generally offensive songs. Choice of pieces is typically spontaneous; the [[Bnad Leedur]] will start playing, and the rest of the group joins in or not. Certain scheduled events, such as the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, require the bnad to refrain from certain items that are considered unsuitable for young children or society in general. As well, certain actions, events, or locations typically require certain songs to be played. For example, the "Walking Song" is played when the bnad walks, "~~Wipe Out~~" is played when the bnad returns to the Bnad Room ~~through the archway on the west side of Hart House~~, and "[[Godiva's Hymn]]" is played in the presence of Ye Olde Mighty Skule Cannon.

	During an event, bnad members play an instrument of their choice including traditional instruments such as bass drum, snare drum, trumpet, trombone, baritone horn, sousaphone, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and cymbals, as well as non-traditional instruments including electric guitar (with portable amplifier), electronic keyboard, slide whistle, kazoo, washboard, bedpan, maraca, and fire bell.

	The Bnad Leedur may play any "melody" instrument ~~he/she is~~ competent at. In recent years, most Bnad Leedurs have played the trombone, trumpet, or saxophone, however, they have also been known to play instruments such as the guitar or sousaphone. The [[D(r)umb Majur(k)]] plays a snare drum without exception, but may improvise by playing any other instrument, object, or person as a drum during certain pieces.

In recent years, most Bnad Leedurs have played the trombone, trumpet, or saxophone, however, they have also been known to play instruments such as the guitar or sousaphone. Bnad Leedurs are also known to use a megaphone to amplify more quiet instruments such as the flute. The [[D(r)umb Majur(k)]] plays a snare drum without exception, but may improvise by playing any other instrument, object, or person as a drum during certain pieces.

	The LGMB's first uniform consisted of a few red military jackets and pith helmets. The uniform along with their first bass drum, two tenor drums, cymbals and a drum major's baton were courtesy of La Prairie's resourcefulness and his military connections. Those who didn't wear military jackets were often seen in the traditional leather jacket of the engineering faculty. Later, members began to wear their decorated hardhats to events. The first public appearance of the LGMB was at the Annual Homecoming Parade on the back of a flatbed truck.

Bnad leedurs wear a high-visibility orange hardhat uniquely decorated by each leedur, with drum majurs often using drumsticks to adorn them. Past designs include a cowboy hat, a whale, CN tower, bells, lights, and drum sticks aligned like a mohawk. General bnad members wear yellow decorated hardhats which are shared within the bnad.

	About the same time, just before their 1977 album, a new uniform began to appear. Along with the engineering jacket and decorated hardhat, members wore hockey shirts adorned with the LGMB logo on the front. These shirts were originally mostly yellow with blue and white accents. (The [[Skule]] colours are blue and gold.) This design was updated to mostly blue with yellow and white accents in 1993.

The yellow jerseys were brought back for the sesquicentennial celebrations in 2023 (Skule 150), with a slightly altered logo on the front. The original jerseys sported an image of the patron saint Lady Godiva riding nude on a horse, however the nipples in the design were deemed inappropriate by the faculty and were smoothed out for the new jerseys.
