I start watching at 6:56 pm , NY time. Lots of standing around. We
see Rachel Wulff preparing for her standup, going over her lines,
chatting with Arthur Hardy. Finally she goes live but beforehand we
get to watch her almost get run over by a van, used by some military
people, backing up without its beepers.
The cameraman/woman gets a shot of the moon by itself!
We see more standing around. Then some horse riders appear over the
heads of the crowd.
We then see some Marine Corp trainees march to The Halls of Montezuma.
We see the king in red go by.
Various crowd shots, some good long shots of the crowd, including
some of their hands reaching up against the pitch black sky.
The riders of these floats all have tall pointy caps on. Some are
blue costumes, some black, all are good looking. One float in
particular looks good. It starts out with the face with white hair,
and had a beautiful comet trail over the top, curling up in the back
in a golden cornucopia with a star at the end. One of the nicest
floats I've seen and perfect for a night parade. How come all the
floats can't be that nice? Some are really sloppily painted.
A green band was ready to go in front of the camera. They'd take on
step forward and then a few back in a cool pattern. They played well
but the audio is totally distorted.
We see a K Why float! Clever. A bottle as K-Why.
The Navy float, a nice square rigger ship, plays what appears to be
Oye Como Va by some cover band.
A red and white dressed band plays and we get good sound!
We hear a loud horn and people start to get out of the way. The fire
truck, signifying the end of the parade is coming through.
