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. The Regimental Band is led by more drummers. It's modeled on old-style British military bands in which drums helped soldiers march. Any youngster who plays an instrument and wants to march can join this unit. We could wind up with all kinds of things.
