I'm so proud of my bands, coming together and marching in the parade today. They stayed together well, listened to each other, and didn't go too fast! I have to admit I was disappointed that the man in charge of the parade didn't know that we would be there, despite my having spoken to someone I thought was in charge (because he called me)! The Newport group has been at the parade for years and years and year - I even marched in it when I was at the school. Also, I ran out of berets because so many kids forgot them!
Next year, I'll count way ahead of time and plan. I need to get an aluminum pole to go with Newport's banner, so it doesn't bend so much. Will the majorettes march with us next year?
