The Elizabeth Stampede Parade

Here are some pictures from our latest event, the Elizabeth Stampede Parade. This was our first parade in Colorado. I think it when pretty well, as we got several complements afterwards, even though I don't think it was the best arrangement to be put between a dance troupe (with music of course) and the Elbert Country Sheriffs with their sirens going. There was another historic music unit in the

parade, the 79th New York Highlanders.

"The fife and drum, which long ago

Called the folks to church on time

And told the soldiers when to go

And bounced along with beat and rhyme

"That which told of liberty's cry

And that which carried the firm hand

Of the justice of our great land

That would not tolerate the invader's plan

"This still sounds off hill and glen

And calls and shrikes to land and main

To not forget those mighty men

To take courage and rise again"

-Peter Bringe

The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations. And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the LORD your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies."

(Numbers 10:8b-9)
