I Love a Parade

The Dryden High School Marching Band! When my kids were in school, the band didn't (couldn't?) march. I'm glad they're doing it now. They've foregone the expense of the Seventy-Six Trombones type uniforms that I remember from my high school days. And that's okay. The music is fine.



There were fire trucks of every color. I was especially glad to see Etna's black rescue vehicle there.


Neptune Hose Company fielded an excellent color guard. W B Strong's Chief Andy Down and his beautiful Great Dane led the Freeville engine. The boy scouts were there and several law enforcement agencies.

The parade led to the Village Green where hundreds of people gathered to reflect on Memorial Day traditions.
