Parade and Picnic - Memorial Day

After a good deal of practicing, we've finally completed our Memorial Day parades.

The first parade took place in Rothsville, at about 8:00 A.M. - needless to say, the audience was less-than-large. Only a few people came out to see us, and most of them were family/friends of those in the band.

Things changed completely when we began our parade in Lititz (after a 30 minute intermission at the school). The output was much larger, with both sides of the street packed with people very excited to see the award winning band. After the Memorial Day service in the park, we "marched" home - meaning that we weren't really organized, but it was all in fun, as there was no one left to watch us!

Once we got back home and changed, we headed out to the picnic, which was full of food, fun, and games. But as great as the day was, it did mark the end of the 2008 season Warwick Marching Band - a year that will never be forgotten.
