on the boulevard for two days to see them. ALSO this is one of the

should be a great INTERNATIONAL PARADE!... Tune in World of Pageantry

Science Hill had a very entertaining show this year. They played on a theme

of 007 and Men in Black, and it really rocked. They placed around 6th
give or take a spot(critics be forgiving of my failed memory) this year at
the Tennessee Contest of Champions, so they will surely put on a great show.

Hey Harvey!

You forgot UCLA and Wisconsin! ;-)

Also, as a past participant in this parade, I would STRONGLY encourage all
participants, especially those with heavy instruments, to ask Santa Claus for a
Camelbak or other convenient water-carrying device.
