Festival of the Horse Parade
October 2, 2009
Georgetown, Kentucky
a time honored tradition of our
Tiger Bands is to add our special flavor and flair to the Festival
of the Horse - participating in the Colt & Filly Review [the
Friday evening parade] which is sponsored by the Friends of the
Library and this year again coordinated by our friend Martha
Tirlea - although the day started very rainy - by parade time -
conditions were ideal - we consider it a privilege and a pleasure
to represent our College and our Tiger Bands in this important
community event
important "rituals" such as
preparing the bait (a concept originally created in 1994 by Jeff
Vanzant and Matthew Sturtevant), decorating Humble but Homey XVII,
the Candy Distribution Team, prepping the Band Van (now BVIII) and
eating are hallmarks of the Festival of the Horse Parade

twisted - even by our standards
Lucas M. O. Gravitt, Gem Alumnus

Managing Director of Camps at Georgetown College was again
"pressed into service" for the evening
Grrr...
and as we were heading down Main
Street a beautiful, near full moon was beginning to rise - what a
marvelous evening ... special thanks to Kenny and Interstate
Towing for again provide the truckie for us - specials thanks to
the Band Scholars for delaying their Fall Break departures to
support this important event - and special thanks to our Band
Friends everywhere who provide the necessary and ongoing support
for the Band Scholars and our Tiger Bands
