This was a perfect day for the Veterans Day parade, crisp and sunny. Del Valle, which never fails to participate, led off the order of March.

Mayor Leffingwell was among the dignitaries. We were treated to stirring music, most particularly from Del Valle (which never fails to participate), a City pipe band, and, grandest of all, a large and prime band all the way from Bastrop High School.

Various school ROTC groups were snappy and polished, with perfect posture. All the children participating in the parade and along the route were a treat to see.

Some toy-camera photos have been uploaded and so have some unedited videos, with more on the way. Congress Avenue was specifically designed as a route for parades and processions. Next parade up is Chuy’s.
