Spokane, WA is big on parades. The Lilac Festival and Armed Forces Day parade, one week later, is the largest evening Armed Forces Day Parade in the United States, featuring (typically) 200+ parade units and over 50 high school marching bands from throughout the Northwest. That event grew too large - and the middle school (and even elementary school) bands got their own parade, the Junior Lilac Parade, hold on a Saturday the week before. That typically features over 25 bands! This video follows the Centennial Middle School "Falcons" Marching Band in the May 2006 Junior Lilac Parade. They placed 2nd out of 7 bands in their division, and ranked very highly out of all bands. Bear in mind, this is a middle school. This video was produced for the benefit of the parents, by Coldstreams.com. The band's web site is at http://cmsbands.blogspot.com/. (Video from the Senior Lilac Festival and Armed Forces Day parade is coming soon.)
