It’s time to put together our PRIDE marching band for the upcoming Dairy Princess Parade, which is Saturday, June 6th. We march (walk, saunter, dance) for LGBTQIA+ rights and visibility, advocate for equal protection under the law and to build community. Please join us, whether or not you play an instrument. We make a joyful noise and are a positive presence at this annual event!
We’ll play our signature tune, “We Are Family”. Listen to the music here:
We will meet the day of the parade at 11:00 a.m. in the Unitarian-Universalist Church Social Room to practice the music. If you prefer to just show up for the parade, we will line up for the parade between 12:15 and 12:30 in the back parking lot of the Canton Municipal Building on Judson Street, just steps away from downtown and adjacent to the UU Church. The parade steps off at 1:00 p.m.
Please share with friends–In this time of eroding rights, our visibility is more important than ever.
Let Jill Rubio know if you need the music, and she will send you a pdf of your part that you may print. Hard copies will be available the day of the parade. A small collection of lyres that attach to instruments will also be provided. We always need drummers! If you’re a percussionist, marching drums or tambourines can be provided but Jill needs to know ahead of time. Jill can be reached via email, please contact the church office for this information.
