Inauguration morning

(Posted by Sue kelly)

jan 20....approximately 6:30 AM. Well another early day, ate and got on the busses. The bus left in the dark so this is the best picuture - just wanted to give you the sense of how early the band left. It was quite cold.

This is a picture from the stands loooking away from parade towards the security gate. To prevent crowding and crushing, many people were kept off the pared route. This included thousands who had purchased tickets to get into bleacher seat. Several in our group had bleacher seats and were lucky enough to get through security. Many bleacher seats were empty because the people outside could not get in to their seats.

The parade was delayed quite a bit, so by the time WHS passed, it was already dark. This was the best shot I could get. I think Tom Moos hass a better one...I just wanted to get something on line tonight for you to see.

As Im sure you saw yourself...the band performed fabulously. They sounded much stronger than I had anticipated.

Here's another view
