I should have posted this yesterday but the day got away from me.
56 years ago...January 20, 1961
My high school band that I was in,
Played and marched down Pennsylvania Ave
For President John F. Kennedy's Inauguration Parade.
Our band in front of the Capitol.
I'm about 3 up on the right hand side.
Photo taken off the television.
It was so late in the day when we finally got to step off onto Pennsylvania Ave.
Temperatures were right at freezing and they had us practically running to speed up the parade.
Frozen lips and frozen instruments but great memories.

What an incredible memory!
that is a great memory, to bad there were no digital cameras back then, you could be posting dozens of photos taken with cell phone or camera.
walking down the memory lane...this was beautiful
