A sad band


This year the parade was not so expansive. The town band went to another town that paid them, so this guy led the parade with a boom box on his back.

Being the family marching band authority, I have determined that this Lyme 4th of July trudge was the sorriest show in the history of parades. Worldwide. Ever.


I am embarrassed to have actually sat on the porch for the entire 4 minutes. I could have cackled through the whole thing in one breath. Maybe two.

BTW, the boombox was tied the the guy's rear end and played a scratchy cassette.

Another thing:

The picture of the guy with the flag is the beginning of the parade.
You can see in the background (on Rt 10) that there is no parade there.
So, the whole thing was less than one bend of Common.

I'm going to have to run for parade director, just to ease my shame.
