I've been in about a dozen.
UG is right, they're made for bands.

I went in a local Christmas parade as a kid. Think firetrucks, school band, business sponsors, a hundred or so local kids on bikes, including me.
All the kids treated it like a race and dashed off, passing all the other floats.

Took the thought out of my head! We don't seem to do parading here except for the demos. Anti-war, CND, Reclaim the Night/Streets. Trade Union stuff with our wonderful banners, 'Save the NHS', Anti-BNP, Anti-Apartheid, and my most recent one 'Troops Out'.
London has it's truly sumptious New Year and Lord Mayor parades which I used to watch but even they are very militaristic. 'Thatcher Out!' 'Thatcher Out!' 'Blair's a Liar!' 'Blair's a Liar!' Happy days.

Maggie Thatcher, Milk Snatcher! And the always popular "Maggie, Maggie, Maggie.....out, out out!" Bizarrely the first one despite being from my very early childhood, still occasionally could be heard on demos when I was in my teens.

Our St. Pat's day parade is huge, one of the largest in the nation. About 4 hours long. We enjoy it. I have had an opportunity to be in it each year but I would rather watch it.

You didn't have to be a cop to be in the PG County Police PB. Fact is only a couple-three of the bandmembers were police officers. Officer Corcoran once told me one reason he joined the pipe band was to have more friends who weren't all police officers. You can tell the ones who are sworn officers by looking to see if they have their police badges on their pipe band uniforms. Their tartan is American Police Tartan, a mauvy-looking sett that is about the only tartan I've seen that would clash with a saffron shirt.

They look like the kind of people who'd bury you in a cave near the beach...
