Rum pa pa pone... on my trombone (?)

Saturday was the Bend Christmas parade. This year was MUCH warmer than last year. This year we sat in 60 degree sunshine to watch the parade!! Hooray!

There were elves

and llamas (of course)
Who's Christmas parade doesn't have llama's in it??
pink Cadillac's pulling giant ducks
This one had an actual working train on a track that circled the float!

I took this pic for my dad 'cause I think this is the car he used to have B.C. (before children)

There were quite a few church floats focusing on Christmas too
Best of all however was the HDMS Jazz Band/Chorus Float!!!
Check out Samantha (in blue) playing the trombone

(again, if you double click on the video it takes you to the Youtube site where you can click under the image to watch the video in "high def", so you can see better)

Fun parade! Your town does such fun things. So cool that Samantha was in the parade, she's famous! I bet to her brother and sisters she is! :)

WOW!! Sam plays the trombone too? That is really great.

And YESS!!! That IS just like my 1969 Camero SS Convertable - same color and all!! The ONLY thing different is that mine had a white interior.
