If you find yourself in or near Dubois, Idaho today (6/20) be sure to take in their rodeo parade. It starts at 10:30, sharp.
The Yogi’s are not making it this year but if you are there keep your eyes and ears peeled for the Dubois Marching Band. It is small but mighty. We were there last year for the event. Here is a photograph so you know what to look for.
Anybody look familiar? There is SuperPizzaBoy, co-chairman of the candy tossing committee. Just behind him is the other co-chairman, cousin Mr. Beans. At the back of the truck is Mr. Bean’s “Pappy”, Irv. Who just happens to my favorite BIL Driving, is Gramps, my Dad.
We are not going to be there to help Gramps this year but he is still planning to be the Marching Band again this year. He has been doing it for years. It’s a tradition.
Here is another shot of the Marching Band and support crew.
From left to right, Gramps, Mr. Beans, SuperPizzaBoy, Sweetie, Irv, and my Sister Ellen.
Hey, if you go, talk to Gramps, he is going without a support crew or candy tossers. Stick around for the rodeo later in the day.
It’s my opinion that the Dubois Marching Band should be awarded some sort of parade prize for their wonderful attitude.
I remember being part of the support crew when I was a teenager! Wish I could go!
Fun post for the day! That’s my kind of Marching Band! Hope you and your family have a great weekend!

I would like to be a candy catcher!
