I would strongly advise the marching bands in this parade to look up Kyoto Tachibana SHS band, to pay attention and take notes. That is a high school marching band band that rehearses seven days a week and on school days, before school and after school. Kyoto Tachibana is so good that they frequently win national championships and they have traveled internationally to perform (Taiwan in 2022 and 2023, US in 2006, 2012, 2018 and will return in 2025). That's the difference between a school with standards of excellence and whatever passes for a typical American high school band.
Hands down worst parade I've ever seen. I mean, seriously? Why in the world does anyone even participate or even show up to watch this? It's just a bunch of people on horseback doing nothing with a street sweeper or two here and there to pick up all the poop. I would expect this level of parade in a small town in the middle of nowhere with a population of 172.
