Today's the day! One of Vanguards all-time favorite events has arrived...the Cherry Royale Parade!
Folks in beautiful Traverse City love Vanguard, and we love them! This parade has traditionally been the final performance of the Vanguard season, but this week the Cherry Festival fell a week earlier than normal so we still have a week of Vanguard left after we leave Michigan. But it's still a bitter sweet day for us, as this will be our last parade of the year. And for the senior members of the band, it's the last parade of their LVW careers. If you're lucky enough to be in Traverse City this year you're in for a treat because the band looks and sounds great! (Little tip: stand on the tight side of the street and stick with the band until the end of Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is, and hang on to your hats!)
Be sure to check out the LVW site on FaceBook for some cool videos and photos.
Once the parade is done today, we're off for some fun time in downtown Traverse City at the Cherry Festival grounds before loading up the busses for Monroe, MI and an overnight stay at Zion Lutheran Church.
And finally...the kids are REALLY excited about tomorrow when we head to the roller coaster capital of the world: Cedar Point Amusement Park! Check back in to this blog for an update and hopefully some photos of the day!
