Chelsea and I got to the starting point about an hour ahead of time--that's where we got the best pictures... especially of the cars. I love the hood ornament on this MG.
I think these two men were bagpipers, but as I said, I completely missed them. Chelsea said they were first to begin the parade and at that point I was down the line a little photographing cars.
There were a lot of these gals and they sure looked like they were having a good time.
Marine Color Guard. Just sooo awesome!
Marine Band. They sounded awesome--sent chills up and down my arms. They got much applause along the route. Disappointingly, there were no other military bands in the parade.
Love the details.
One of the school bands was from Texas--their uniforms were jeans and white T-shirts with a Texas logo on them. Just a little different from the uniforms in Fonda. The other band was from Mobile, Alabama and their uniforms were black button down shirts with parrots all over and red shorts. They looked very cool, but compared to the Marines their deportment was severely lacking. Actually compared to Fonda their deportment was lacking. Oh well....
So what's it like watching the St. Patty's Day parade in Hawaii--hot! with a nice view of the ocean in the background and the ocean breeze accompaning the music. Not too shabby. Watch the parade then jump in the ocean to cool off!
Aloha
