The Red Band was once again invited to be in it.
Dolgeville hosts one of the best parades in our area.
One of the notable things about Dolgeville’s parade is
how many bands participate. It is a joy to hear so much live music in a parade
– something once so common is becoming rare. Bravo Dolgeville!
As the Red Band passed the reviewing stand, the announcer
introduced us as “The Banda Rossa Marching Band” This title is becoming more
and more appropriate for two reasons – we seem to be doing more parades and
processions than concerts each year. Another reason is that while high school
bands continue to march – many of the smaller community bands have older
musicians who aren’t able to march but ride on a flatbed enabling them to be in
parades. La Banda Rossa truly is a “Marching Band”
As we continued down the parade route another announcer
referred to us as coming “all the way from Utica”
Although many spectators were bundled up in jackets and
sweatshirts, we were given a very warm, friendly reception. Even the rain held
off until after the parade.
