Very cool! How do they decide which school gets the invite?

I was so proud of my son when he came home to tell me he would be participating in the parade. When I found out it was going to be televised, I was thrilled. I watched but didn't see Great Mills. The broadcast was interruped for about 10 minutes in the middle and then it was cut off at 4 and it appeared the parade was still going on.

They were about five minutes before the end in between the regular armed forces units , we saw the Great Mills banner in front of the marching unit.
Everybody looked great!

My son said he had a great time. I was unable to attend but was going to watch it on TV and I set the DVR. I wish I could get a tape of it for me and to send his father a copy who doesn't live here.

I will try to get my technical advisors (sons) to download, then forward it.
