"City of Lights" Parade in Lowell, MA

I participated in the "City of Lights" parade in Lowell, MA for the first time last night. Western Avenue Studios in Lowell formed a kazoo band.  We were at the back of the parade so it took a long time to get started and was cold.  As you will see from the pictures we embellished kazoos, which ended up looking like Dr. Suess instruments.  Alley -- Oop, local clown and friend of Western Avenue Studios was our drum major.  The whole evening was fun but tiring.  More pictures here
