they also had this cool bit where all these folks in 2 lines dressed in black did slow sword-like kata moves with blue water like swords - and they all had masks made out of platic bottles: creepy but very cool ... slow & quiet.
there were also many other things made out of water bottles: a giant dragon made of them, and a classic blue fabric dragon (water dragon?) there was an old man w/a beard who was (I think) a water cloud. There was a whole crew of neat jellyfish. There was a series of frogs & lily pads, and they were making awesome frog sounds by rubbing wood & pipes and shaking rattles and that was neat. there was a whole section of turtles that followed 2 giant ones (one I photographed above) & the giant ones had really neat shells: covered w/weed like stuff like a collage of time).
The water bottle cheerleaders I photographer were creepycool - doing some cheer w/skirts made of bottles.
There was that band of many-faced spooks dragging water bottles (I took one photo, above) & the sound of all those bottles dragging on the street: wow. Very intense & interesting.
There was a giant polar bear made of white trash bags - bit too spooky for me to photograph w/my limit of 24 oppotunities only.. that made me hold back a lot.
There was also a giant blue wave that went on & on .. many people and dancer under it : so I thought it was like an ocean wave, it was neat; but hard to photograph.
Hope you like my additional descriptions: I guess I should've written more, but I wasn't motivated before. *grin*
I liked them very much. My college also has a big old May Day tradition -- here are some photos from this year's. Maybe a bit heavy on the Morris Dancing photos, I suspect the photographer is a fan. The wearing of white and hoop races are very traditional; the people in togas are performing a play with the Greek and Classics department. Some years the president rides a horse instead of a golf cart. so nostalgic! there's a lot of close-harmony singing involved too, as I recall.
