Parade of Bands

wpid8260-IMG_1747.jpgWhat we hadn’t bargained on when heading to Pleasanton was that the town’s main street was closed for a parade of high school bands.  Some sort of competition was obviously underway with different stops along the street with judges checking out various aspects of the bands.  If you were at one spot, you would see some of the band doing their thing while the rest of the band members were hanging back behind them.  It all made sense when you realized that this was happening at various places along the street.
