where are the majorettes that goes with marchingbands....and the flags?

[PSearPianist]

At this particular parade, there are majorettes, but they do not come with the individual bands. There is a massive group that goes round the parade route two or three times as a separate 'act'.

Dude! You got the gaint robot! That thing was standing right behind me and I never got the chance to see it.

[Phillip210]

I hope you found the video of it interesting.  Apart from the bands it was the best thing in the parade!

[Phillip210]

Thanks for your comment. I hope you will get the chance to come here on another occasion.

[Skull35]

thanks for posting this. I was in the Stone Bridge High School Band in this vid and it just feels amazing to have done this for all the world to see.

[Phillip210]

That's a pleasure. Thank you for going to the trouble and expense to come all the way here to entertain us. I hope you enjoyed your time in London and had/have a good journey home!

[Skull35]

No problem. I like London better than I do Washington D.C.

[mlsgrandma]

Great. Thank you, and all you Londoners who posted video of our Marching Wildcat Band from North Carolina!  My granddaughter was carrying the banner, and I wouldn't have gotten a chance to see their performance without the various videos you all performed. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

[Phillip210]

Thank you - I hope she showed up clearly on my brief clip!

[holiday1842]

This may be repetitive but honestly thanks sooo much for posting this. Its really cool to see the other bands too since I was marching and never saw the other bands except at the hotel. Also, all the families back home in the States can see us now. :)

[Phillip210]

Thanks for your comment. It is not at all repetitive as you are the very first person to comment who was actually marching in the parade. I hope you enjoyed your stay in London (maybe you are still here). I am sorry it was so cold. If you had come last year it was a lot milder!

[holiday1842]

I really enjoyed my stay and Im very glad it didnt rain. I got used to the cold and when we arrived back at the airport everyone was laughing cause it was "warm" compared to what we had been through all week.

[dmmls]

THANK YOU very much for posting this video...for all of us parents back her in the United States who didn't get to go...it is much appreciated...

[Phillip210]

It's a pleasure to be of service - I enjoyed watching them all.

[pigeggs1]

Thanks so much for posting. Everyone here in Ashburn, VA appreciates it. Go Stone Bridge High School Marching Bulldogs!

[Phillip210]

It's my pleasure!

[kjdpop6]

Thanks so much for taking this video and posting it, Phillip210! I'm a proud Marching Wildcat Trombone Mom here in North Carolina USA, and it was great to see my son and his friends. Neat to see the other bands, too -- extra nice that you edited out the "in between" times so we can watch several bands in a row, plus the way you listed them all made it easier to find on the website. Thanks again!

[Phillip210]

It's a pleasure. I'm only sorry I didn't quite get all the bands.  They are the outstanding feature of the parade, and the only parts that I videoed! I salute the huge effort (and fundraising) that must lie behind sending all the band members here!

[Itachisephilover777]

Thank you. My friends from band class are in the Lake Norman Wildcats Marching Band. I hate not getting to go and march along side them. Thanks again for posting this video.

[Phillip210]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It is a fantastic effort by them (and the other American bands) to come all the way to London and march for us!

[Itachisephilover777]

Like I said I wish I could have been there with them. But I couldn't afford to go and plus I wanted to be able to spend the New Years with my family. Maybe I'll go next time. ^-^

[fernkids2]

Thank you, my son was marching in the FCHS band, and I had been looking for a video to see them in the parade.

[Phillip210]

I'm glad you were able to see them. The bands move past pretty quickly, so the amount of footage I can get is limited!

[Phillup11]

Yay for FCHS lol.
