Blandford explains that the parade script consists of one page for each element of the parade, explaining who they are and where they come from. Each announcer has a copy of the script. Apparently, everyone has made it to the right location on time. The presidential escort begins moving down Constitution Avenue toward the turn onto Pennsylvania. Most of the command post staffers take their radios and move outside to watch the new president pass.
Tenner runs out of the command post to tell Snead to halt the countdown.
City police report that protesters have gotten past them onto the parade route. Move 'em on out. For the most part, the parade staff has done its job. Many begin to relax and enjoy the parade. Tenner is thrilled when Wyoming's All-State High School Marching Band passes him.
