Free entertainment

July 26th, 2007 at 05:09 am

Namely, the Greenwood Seafair parade tonight. Seafair is a two week celebration culminating with hydroplane races. All over Seattle, neighborhoods hold parades and events.

The bead guy, selling a little bit of Mardi Gras in July.


The theme of the parade was the Greening of Greenwood. One truck took it to a funny turn.


Cheerleaders...


Drill Teams...


Bands...


Careful listening to the bands provides for its own entertainment. Five years ago, one of the school bands played School's Out for Summer. No one, though, dressed like Alice Cooper, but you still had to give them props. Nothing so entertaining tonight, but fun nonetheless.

    Greenwood is a neighborhood of North Seattle. The exact spot where I photographing was 87th/ Greenwood Ave N.

    Maybe I'm not being open-minded enough, but there's something about the drill team that kinda made me cringe. Big Grin Nice photos though.

    This was the best drill team (actually a step team) - best choreographed, etc, in the parade. Many of the neighborhoods in Seattle field one of these kid step teams for the parades, usually 5 or 6 teams perform in each neighborhood parade. A lot of competition and a lot of pride. And - ahem, how can I put this delicately? - the white kids are usually not as good.
