July 31, 2010 - Rome Honor America Parade

It was perfect weather for a parade - sunny, mild with low humidity

It was also a perfect place to "Honor America" - Historical Rome NY" - birthplace of the Erie Canal and home to the Revolutionary War's Fort Stanwix.

We didn't forget the former Air Force Base when we played the Air Force March along with all the other service marches.

The parade route was packed with spectators from when we stepped off on Pine St. all the way to the end with many of them decked out in red, white, and blue.

As we turned onto Embargo St. to pass by the reviewing stand, the Parade Master of Ceremonies, Carl Eilenberg gave a special shout-out to our Band Director, Arlene Iagnocco. He loudly called her name over the loudspeaker and cheered "VIVA LA BANDA ROSSA".

We then proceeded down North George and ended the parade just past the Capitol Theater on West Dominick St.


VIVA LA BANDA ROSSA!!
