Leo the Lion

**Leo the Lion** (military name **General Leonardo Geimanryde**) is a tan lion who is the Funday Band's brass man (Or should that be, "brass lion"). He plays the trumpet while not everybody sings sometimes, and loves to "Rock and Roar". He wears a blue/dandelion marching hat with the letter L in red on it, and a matching shirt, and carries a baton and a whistle. Although the Funday Band is a parody of Munch's Make Believe Band from the Chuck E. Cheese restaurants they replace their second main singer with a trumpet player, of which Leo is.

His personality is as follows: Leo likes to march with his baton, and blow his trusty whistle at the others when not roaring like a lion. (Oh that's right, he *is* a lion!) In addition to trumpeting, Leo is also a fresh rapper, as confirmed by Show 4. Although Leo is a real wild creature, he's also kind and kind-hearted. So much so, that he'd share his last game token with you! He is a rascal and a clown, but he is also Dandy's best friend. Though direct with words, Leo also sometimes lacks common sense. He also has a pet frog named Mr. Froggy Pal, who is also part of the band.

TRIVIA:

According to Alberto Velazquez de Cuellar, Leo is his favorite character in the Funday Band.

Unlike the old Funday Band showtapes, where he had a deep, clumsy-sounding voice, Leo has a raspy-sounding voice similar to that of the Daniel and the Dixie Diggers character 'Scratchmo' or the CEC character 'Mr. Munch' in the new Funday Band and in the TV show and media. This makes him one of four characters from the original Funday Band to have their voice changed, Barny, Tu-Tu, and Foxy being the other ones to have their voice changed.

Leo is likely named after the constellation Leo, which resembles a lion.

The symbol on his hat in the Hialeah band looked different than the other two versions, and the hat is much bigger in the University Park version.

Due to his marching band outfit, it was decided to make Leo a Grand Marshall. His actual last name, Geimanryde, is a play on the phrase "game and ride" and the idea of his title being "general" is inspired by an article on another wiki called "Dandy Bear Drive", which incorrectly listed Leo as "General".
