Marching at Boston Pride?

[Michael]

Hey Trailstormers,

It's a team tradition to march together, in uniform, with MTPC in the Boston Pride parade. Pride is just over two weeks away, so I wanted to gauge interest. Last year I was the only Trailstormer to march in uniform, and I'd rather not repeat that. I know a lot of us have other commitments, but if no one else is going to march with the team, I'll wear a shirt that isn't dark blue and spend less time slowly boiling to death.

When we march as a team, even if there's only a few of us, it tends to be a lot of fun and feels (at least to me) like another way to cement a team feeling among all the Trailstormers, and remind everyone (and ourselves) why we exist. And we always get recognized and cheered by assorted players from other teams. :)

Obviously no hard feelings if you can't or don't want to march, or have a commitment to march with someone other than MTPC. But I'd love to hear from everyone and see if marching as Trailstormers is going to happen this year or if I should make other wardrobe plans.

A map of the parade route is at http://www.bostonpride.org/parade/ . If we start as far back as we usually do, it'll be about 2.8 miles; if we start near the front, it'll be about 2.4 miles. If that's not doable for you, you can also join up with us by the State House and do the last quarter mile downhill to Government Center, with a sea of queers cheering you like a rock star. :D

Ballz,
Michael

Thanks for sending this Michael!

I know for me, I always have to march with BAGLY, but wear one of my Trailstormer t-shirts.  It'd be great to see a bunch of us come out to march especially considering MTPC will be marching up front this year!  They are part of the coalition that make up Freedom for All MA, who is one of the Grand Marshall's for the parade.

If you want to march with MTPC, you can fill out this form: https://secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/WY8TL9gDkoKXfvI56Ogc9g

But also, you could probably just show up and march even if you don't fill out the form.
