We welcomed Giovanna as a new member of color guard. She carried the rifle to guard the American flag, which was carried by Bob K. He has marched with us for several events, and we decided that it was time to change his status from "Tara's husband willing to help out" to member of the color guard. We also had two new banner carriers: Josh's daughter, Lilly, and her friend. Chloe.

We had TWO sousaphones, or more specifically Josh on sousaphone and Don H. on  helicon. Art and his trombone hopped in line just as we left the school driveway and turned onto North Main Street. He had to leave right after the parade to get back to Arbor Farms Greenhouse. Memorial Day is the big weekend for gardeners to buy and plant flowers. Other brass included Sue on trombone, and Scott W. and Arnie on trumpet.

It was nice to have Kevin playing snare drum and Nancy on cymbals. Scott M, also played snare drum, and Andy played bass drum. Jon, who usually plays bass drum, and Steve, who usually plays alto saxophone or occasionally bass drum, are coaches for Cal-Mum Youth Baseball teams. They both marched with their teams in this parade.

Woodwinds included Irene, Tracey and Tara on flute, Kelly on clarinet, Margaret and Cindy on alto saxophone and Maria on tenor saxophone.

Our next event is the York Fire Department Parade this Friday, June 1. See you there!
