Days of 47 Youth Parade

John and I are in the marching band for Kearns High, so we had a parade this morning. We got to the high school at 7:15, and left at around 7:30. The parade didn't start until 10:00, so that was a little long just to wait. We warmed up and everything, and finally got in line. We were 32nd in order, which is pretty early for a parade. The two songs we play for the parades are "Armed Forces on Parade," and "American Scenes," both of which are compilations of patriotic songs. We only had to march a total of 4 blocks, which took about 15 minutes in total. I was surprised that it was that short. We only played through each song about three times, and then everything was done. After we finished everything ran smoothly, and we left soon after. When we got back, we got some cold water and cookies which was really nice because I'm sure hardly anyone ate breakfast before coming. We have two more parades this year, one in Bountiful and then the Kearns Hometown Parade.
