Quincy Ma. Holiday Parades Late 1950's

An even better quality of the second half of the parade.
Vintage 8mm Quincy Ma., Holiday Parades, late 1950's. Recorded by Quincy resident Dan Marini.
Dan was filming his daughter's Linda & Janet (Majorettes) but kept the camera rolling through much of each of the two parades.
Unknowingly he captured a true piece of Americana. Dan passed away in 2006 at age 90.
8mm enhanced by Larry Tocci. The original film was discarded. All that remains is a fading fair quality 1980's VHS dub.
The tape's VOB files have been archived & enhanced as best as possible by Larry Tocci.
You're now looking at 4th generation. 8mm (original) to VHS transfer, a conversion to digital, & youtube.
This is the original FULL version:
