For the 2nd
year the Red Band traveled to Camden, NY, to play in the annual Homecoming
Parade honoring the Blue Devils football team.
Everyone ling the parade
route had bright blue cowbells that they rang right along with our music.
It was a dreary, dismal
day with rain on and off all morning. Many of the spectators had setup potable
blue canopies to protect them from the predicted storms. Fortunately, there
were a few drops before the parade began then a downpour just after the last
group finished marching.
The parade gods smiled on
us and we completed the parade quite dry.
The young son of our tuba player, Paul Browne, sporting a “Go Camden Blue Devils” tee shirt, had a mouthpiece and one of the cowbells and preceded the band the entire route getting many cheers from the Camden spectators. He is currently taking trombone lessons and we are all waiting for the day he can join us and play officially.
