July 4th Parade, A Great Parade on a Great Day!

The band enjoyed the great weather on the morning of the 4th while marching from 8th Street to the Civic Center. Although the parade lineup had the band in middle, behind the dreaded ice cream truck, due to a very spread out parade we were able to get in earlier to avoid the hour and 15 minute wait we would have had to wait for our original position.

Overall, it was a great parade and everyone had a great time and many compliments were received on the walk back to 8th street. After the walk back,  the band enjoyed lunch at the Great Falls Masonic Temple.
