Past Opening of the Beaches Parades: 2004
 |
2004
saw Da Band cool and limin' away da aftanoon, serenading the other marchers!
We again defied tradtion and established our own reviewing stand, the
only band or group in the history of parading that has ever dared to
step beyond the bounds of concrete and asphalt, into the exalted arena
of judges and minor gods (and goddesses!). Realizing the poor souls
in the parade had never been blessed with hearing us, as we reviewed
each troupe we also played melodious toots on our horns for the weary
marchers in the street.

| 2004 Conchers were expected to also rate each passing troupe. We tried to be generous... |
Jud & Linda, King & Queen Conch, rally the troops to our higher calling... the bringing of merriment into the sad lives of average people. |
Obviously
Parrotheads, Ray & Ruth
fit right into the Conch Band spirit!

There
is always time for experienced Conchers to share their secret
blatting techniques with each other.
|
Music, revelry and art... Conching is a complete cultural experience!
|
It's
more than a shell game! |
