parade
Today was the Gaspee Days parade, and it went pretty well. We almost called it off because of the weather, but we decided to march. It lightly drizzled the whole time, and it was cloudy, which kept us cool. The drums got really heavy after a while, but we all survived! Mr. Pratt was happy with our playing, especially by the drummers, and it went very well.
Unfortunately my parents didn't love me enough to go. Standing in the rain (it was barely raining) was not worth watching their son, who was marching in a parade in that rain with a heavy snare drum that he had to play almost the entire nearly-three-mile parade route. Thanks, mom and dad.
