I'm not popping down for photos and video of the Easter procession, but watching from my balcony, I'm really happy for that marching band. They worked so hard to prep for today.

This year's procession also has a lot more dancing folks in costume, so everyone seems to be having a grand old time.

I tend to feel very melancholy when watching such events (too much deep history in the noggin), but these are the traditions we use to give our years structure and joy. They mean so much to many of us.
