I was in the marching band at high school. We actually had to march
AND play an instrument at the same time.
AND play at the same time. That's different.
My dad was in a mummers "crew" or club in Philly, where he grew up, and
marched around in a silly feathered costume and played a uke. The
mummers used to be a part of the macy's parade many years ago.
Remember them well from my childhood. Those feathered head dresses were
something to behold. I often wondered how they would hold up in a good
breeze.

Are they still around and marching?


Last time I remember seeing them on TV, from Chicago, was back in the 50s or
60s.

Looks like they are still alive and mumming.

It's been a long time since I've seen them, too.
