Lantern Festival Parade

February 15, 2003

First GAL performance of the 2003 season	Dragon-wrangling is harder than it looks	Looking for a tasty hobbit or two ...	That oh-so-chic Ziploc look	Happy, dry flag team practices
Warm-up time: part of the drum line	Trumpets	Woodwinds	A few of the lantern marchers ...	... and their spiffy lanterns
After thrusting a light wand at me, one of these kids solemnly intoned "I ... AM ... YOUR FATHER!!!"	Nearly-numinous Susie and her aco-lights	Jaaaaan Kkkkkkk ... Phone home!	The rain comes down ...	Those flags are good for more than twirling!
So what if we're drowning -- it's parade time!	Ah, the saturated splendor and distinctive odor of Sodden Marching Band	Bob models Wayne's Chinese New Year hat	Part of the dinner crowd at the Republic Cafe	Great start to the 2003 season!
