May 31, 2010 - Memorial Day Parades

Summer has arrived early this year. The flowers of mid-June are already in full bloom and it feels like the heat of July is here in full force.

Surprisingly, the crowd of spectators seemed more sparse than last year in the Whitesboro and Utica Parades. Perhaps they were off enjoying picnics with family and friends.

However - they were all back home in time for the evening parade in New Hartford.

In all 3 parades we were greeted with smiles-flags-applause and many shouts of "Thank You" as the people acknowledged our Country's Servicemen as we played the songs of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard as well as God Bless America.

Although it was a "scorcher" - the warm reception of the crowds and the deep meaning of Memorial Day made for three spirited parades.

VIVA LA BANDA ROSSA!!
