Well the Christmas parade was very nice tonight — and there was plenty of it. All three bands sounded great. (I think my alma mater was the best, but I’m obviously biased.) Turnout was great on the square (and everywhere else, if the traffic was any indication when I tried to get across town afterward).

More photos are here.

I’ll be working my normal shift at the paper this afternoon, and then I’ll grab dinner somehow, and then I will head for the square to photograph the annual Christmas parade.

I haven’t heard for sure, but I assume that all three of our public high schools will have their bands in the parade. When I was growing up, only the big high school in Shelbyville had a band, but now all three of our public high schools have bands, and they all sound great. I’m proud to say that my alma mater, Cascade, won awards at a big band competition this fall. Community High’s band played at our local Nashville Symphony concert this year, and Cascade will play in 2008, with Central presumably on tap for 2009.
