Procession Spring 2008 YouTube video
Submitted by torclausen on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 1:54pm.

I've lived in Olympia since 1989, and the Procession is the absolute pinnacle of Oly Life, in my humble opinion. Who can't feel at least a tiny bit of hope when ya see the samba dancers, in all their wisdom and glory. I want to marry them all and have flocks of dancing flamingos with them. I mean it.

of course, your soundtrack points out the need to have more brass bands in the Procession...

Amen to the band comment.

The procession needs music - not just percussion.

....and the average parade viewer only sees them for a few minutes.... but some friends and I danced with them for over half the parade, and I would have personally paid for a tuba lay some phat luscious lines of bootie bass for the pagans in the crowd that want to acknowledge some technological advancements in the world of partying. I think a simple drum and bass type sound would do wonders. The band in the video is ReBirth Brass band, they have been in town here a few times. Tor Clausen - MusicalFurnishings.com - TorStudios.com

maybe they could learn another beat? Just one more, spice it up some. Don't be afraid to add a paradiddle, I always say.
