We had fantastic seats for the parade. We watched the parade in the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The picture below is the very first entry in the parade. We were seated across the stadium so we got to see the parade first. We were inside so it didn't matter if it rained.
Nothing better than watching and hearing a Marine marching band. These guys were very, very good.
Hubby and I enjoyed this entry very much. Loved the music and the routine.
This was a most enjoyable parade. There were 98 entries in this parade so it took quite a while.
I love watching marching band!!! I remember in our hometown during fiestas we have marching bands too and there are lovely girls in front we call them bastoneras (majorettes). I don't see them nowadays.
Wow that is fantastic! I am so glad you guys had such a great time on your vacation. I bet it was cool and lovely. Cool is my new favorite word BTW. I love marching bands too, always tear up when I watch them.

Hope Seymour and Element were well behaved during it
ReplyDeleteThey were traveling to your house when we were in Portland. :)
DeleteGreat performances. I love a good marching band.
ReplyDeleteThe Marines do it up right. Precision. :)
DeleteI had no idea you could watch the parade from inside. That's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteIn Portland it rains a lot. You had better have an inside venue. :)
DeleteLooks like a great parade. Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteWe did, it was dry, comfortable and an excellent parade. :)
DeleteI've never seen a parade inside. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteMy first time too. :)
DeleteThat does look like a great parade. That must have been nice to have it inside so you could sit down and watch. Sandee, you and Zane have a great day.
ReplyDeleteIt was Marg. There were lots of folks on lawn chairs watching the parade on the parade route. Some spent the night in tents. Amazing. :)
DeleteAn amazing parade. Those girls from Taiwan were so beautiful and talented.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful Tuesday Sandee & Zane. See ya.

DeleteGood move, planning for rain in Oregon.
ReplyDeleteIt rained a lot while we were there too. It comes and then it's gone. :)
DeleteLoved the video. I'm short so watching a parade from the street is not something I will ever do again.
ReplyDeleteI'm old and if I have to sit on the street you won't find me there. This was perfect. :)
DeleteOh wow! That looks like fun! I should go sometime!
ReplyDeleteYou should, it's most wonderful. :)
