Marched in many. I was a genuine Band Geek. Played Clarinet and Xylophone. The Clarinet was easier to carry. Marched in The Miss America Parade three times, across some bridge linking the US and Canada at Niagara Falls, assorted local parades (Memorial Day and Christmas), couple of Phillies Games, and at DisneyWorld, back when it was relatively new (1978).
I did most of my early growing up in the Midwest, so the Village's 4th of July Parade was a very big deal, either was there watching with my family, or marching with my Brownie Troop, which was a very big deal, as I got to carry the U.S. Flag. dadwolf worked at an office building on Wacker Drive in Chicago, so he'd take us into his office to watch the big parades, including Saint Pat's.
A cousin took siswolf and I to the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade one year, sometime in the 70s. I remember being fascinated by what were then called Drill Teams and are now referred to as Step Crews.
