I heard more Sousa today than in the past 10 years combined.
Also, I loved how the entry following the band was the "trail maids" in the crazy southern hoop skirt dresses. I was like, are those people part of the gay band?
The announcer is awful. Aw. Ful. The band was great. There can never be too much Sousa. Way to go tlgb bandies! And I thought the group behind them was a gaggle of drag queens. Awesome.
I've been a member of LGBA for only 6 months, and I wish with all my heart I could have marched there today, but I know that I will never be so proud of my organization as I was today. You guys were amazing. You brought tears to my eyes.
Major props to the planner of the parade--clearly a very sly queen--for scheduling the Lovely Maids in their Rainbow Pastel Hoopskirts RIGHT AFTER the LGBA.
They were pre-empted by commercials on CNN Television (not the live internet stream), and also, apparently, just before broadcasts cut off on many local stations.
I don't think any major cable news station showed the band because Bush started his show right before the band went on.
We were watching CSPAN because that was the only channel that we knew wouldn't cut away.
The Lovely Maids were a fantastic touch. We called them the Cupcake Drag Queens. And Michelle seemed so confused to see them as they walked by the stand. Hilarious.

I don't think green is your color though. Makes you look fat.
LGBA needs to be in the first half of the parade.
