Kudos to the Hallowell Community band for being in the Independence Day parade in Augusta. Other than a few really good Christian combos on floats, that was the only band in the parade. I admit it has been many years since I have seen a Fourth of July parade, but it made me wonder, do the high schools not have marching bands anymore? Maybe if the parade had a shorter route there might be a few marching bands with their rousing music in it. Again thanks to all who took part in the parade.
