1. That was a HUGE band....
The Alabama Trail Maids were sort of a funny group to follow, though, LOL

8. Love the Trail Maids followed them, I thought it was a drag group at first, ha, I'd wear the dress
to get me in the parade (I'm a guy). Seeing this band perform and perform so WELL brought me pride - God bless 'em!

2. Thanks for posting this
I don't have a sound card at work, so I could only watch the parade, and I missed all the music! This was GREAT!

3. So cool that the LGBA band was there.
I've been a member of a LGBA member band in the past. I remember performing at their very first concert in the Hollywood Bowl. Wish I could have made it and marched with them!

How fantastic! The pride shown by the group in just being Americans and celebrating this great day. Just fantastic!

Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, free at last! Free to be. Free to be as God created them and to come out and celebrate this day. Truly inspiring! :loveya: :fistbump:

Thanks

13. the folks in that band looked so-o-o-o-o fucking proud to be there . . .
kudos to them, and thanks to the Obama administration for inviting them, right wing objections be damned . . .

I've been saying all along that as long as Obama does what's right, he will succeed . . . and so far, he's doing an awful lot that's right . . . a few mis-steps, to be sure, but I just write them off to neophyte inexperience . . . I do believe that his heart is in the right place, and that he'll prove it in time . . .

15. Omg! They were outstanding! And much bigger than I'd thought they would be!
The majorette (is that the right word? Baton major? Dude with the baton?) was perfect!

I haven't been to Pride for years because of the crowds but maybe the band can be seen on line somewhere. Loved them!
