Olathe Parade

I just got done building the last few bits of the new float with Jon, and I'm so excited about the parade this weekend. The KP band will do a song or two through the Olathe Parade Saturday morning on a newly re-designed float. Our old float was awesome, and I'm sure you'd agree if you've seen pictures of it in this week's newsletter article, or on our website; but we just wanted to change things up and keep it fresh.

The new float does more to make the band visible in the hopes to lessen suspicions that we're just pretending to play or that we're playing guitar hero guitars :). I'm sure no one actually thinks that, but seeing the guitars and the drums right in front of you will definitely be a cool new feature. We've also created an array of speakers which will now be on the back of the truck spreading out the sound in a 180+ degrees around the float.

I guess in the end the band has to really rock to make it all count, but I've no doubt they will do just that. If you don't make it to many parades, I hope you'll come join us for this one. Our starting position is # 78. The Parade will start at 10:00. We will meet at Cedar St on the West side of Kansas Ave. Take K-7 South to Dennis Ave and then North on Kansas Ave to Cedar St. Set-Up Crew should arrive around 8:00 and Walkers around 9:30pm.

See you there!
