Listen to that rumble. It makes the sidewalk shake. That's the Thundering Drums, which grew from the original 13 players to today's 125. That makes this unit, which started it all, one of the largest drum corps in the United States. Members of the Flags and Banners unit are scattered throughout the Patriots parade line.
Banners announce each of the major groups.
Flags of all 50 states pass by. The Junior and Senior Pom-pon units add color and flash. There's the Colonial Colors. Drums are everywhere. There' s the Fife and Drum Corps, and over there, the Drum and Bugle Corps.
