Happy Fourth of July

And I'll say it once again, "Happy Fourth of July!" Today, as is tradition, I marched in three parades with Baltimore's Marching Ravens.

We started in Dundalk, then went to Towson, and ended with Catonsville. We played three different songs: The Ravens Fight Song, Washington Post, and Strike Up the Band. The weather was the best it's been in my ump-teen years in the band, not the usual hot and humid, but warm and breezy. I think that if I wasn't wearing brand new shoes, I could've marched in another parade with no problem - that definitely cannot be said for previous years.
Well, there's only one more parade left, and that's in Havre de Grace tomorrow. See you there!
