Is it REALLY that time of year again?
Yes it is indeed MUM SEASON!!!!
Calling all mums calling all mums. The time has come yet again for early morning practice and late night prop building sessions. Hot glue gun burns, sequins and glitter in your hair and all over your face and feather's stuck to your shirt. Yes it is officially mum season. With only 60 some odd days left until New Year's Day many organizations are hard at work tweaking music and fine tuning the steps to their routine. For many a mum this tradition in Philadelphia is a hobby. But there are alot of men and women that participate in this tradition that give 110% everyday to their organization. Pretty soon the Countdown clocks in stringband club's will reach it's final days an we will officially ring in the NEW YEAR. But before we can do this we have sunday jams after practice and the hat day parade down 2 street * and no i didn't mean 2nd street I mean 2street* and let's not forget the drunken Santa Parade. Then on January 1st 2007 the working class of Philadelphia will rule the streets once again.Each organization will put on 4 and a half minute shows in front of judges and the clubs that put on the best shows will come out victoriously with top prizes. Then after the parade is over and everyones celebration ends it is back to work and back to the drawling board to start on next year's theme.
What an awesome time.
