Hey Ms Feather . . . we're watching the rain soaked Tournament of Roses Parade on TV. It hasn't rained on the parade for 51yrs. so it's a "surreal" image as well.

LOL! The Marine Corp Marching Band just went by and they have been the ONLY group without any rain gear . . . totally soaked and totally precise. Even their marching band is a tough looking group of soldiers. Semper Fi!

Did you see our band? The City of Allen is quite proud of her. My father-in-law just called to tell us that more Allen residents got soaked in CA than in Texas. LOL, I had not realized that the Allen High School Band was marching!

We watched them march in the Christmas Parade last year. WOW, they are hugh! Supposedly, they are the largest high school marching band in the world (this is according to my cousin who a senior in high school in Garland, TX).

Oh sorry, I did not see this band.

I am watching the reruns. A huge Marching Band dressed in white and flying the Flag of Texas is on now. I did not catch the name.

Did you see our band?

Yes. My wife could not believe that it was a HS band . . . everything is bigger 'n Texas. My eyes welled up seeing all those Lone Star flags and hearing "The Eyes of Texas".

TEXAS FOREVER!

I remember there being something along the lines of at least 15 rows of trumpets alone, 5 rows of flutes, 10 rows of trombones, etc. There were so many marchers, that I was just about in shock.

When I was in band, we had what we thought was a large band. We marched 20 trumpets, not 20 rows of trumpets, LOL.

Thanks for remembering the Irish, so many people even here on FR don't understand the plight of my ancestors.
