Pulaski WI Marching Band "Sticking to the Union" in Rose Bowl Parade

[kpete]

There once was a union maid, She never was afraid
Of goons and ginks and company finks
And the deputy sheriffs who made the raid
She went to the union hall, When a meeting it was called
And when the company boys came round
She always stood her ground

Listen to the announcers -- they have no idea what's going on, what the tune is, what statement is being made here. "They just stopped in the middle, this band, and they're gettin' down!" says the announcer. Oh yes, they're gettin' down -- to Union Maid, written by Woody Guthrie!

Oh, you can't scare me,
I'm sticking to the union
I'm sticking to the union,
I'm sticking to the union
Oh, you can't scare me,
I'm sticking to the union
I'm sticking to the union
till the day I die

The cheers as they finish the song are great. I bet there were more than a few people in the crowd who realized what had just happened. "The crowd likes them!" declares the announcer, blissfully unaware.

2. They were awesome. I also loved the band from Japan, after all they had been through this

year. The crowd gave them roaring approval. Lump in the throat stuff.
