Hi everybody!
Columbus Day weekend is upon us, and that means one thing . . . Parades!!
The Marching Milkman Band will be playing in two parades this weekend. Our first
appearance will be with Munroe Dairy on Sunday, Oct 12th at the Columbus Day parade on
Federal Hill in Providence. It's a short parade down Atwells Ave, starting at Harris Ave,
and it steps off at 11 AM. Lots of fun & great food!! The whole Munroe Dairy circus will
be there - the band, the antique truck, the dancing cows, and the mini-moo. Check us out!
There's nothing quite like this parade.

Our second appearance will be at the huge (10 divisions!) 47th Autumnfest Parade in
Woonsocket on Monday, Oct 13th, the 47th anniversary of Autumnfest. We'll step off from
'way up on Diamond Hill Rd at 9:30 AM. We will be representing Munroe Dairy at this
parade also, but the dairy folks will be busy milking cows, so we'll be on our own in
Division 4.

Both of these are big, colorful, wild parades. Come on out and cheer us on!

Hi everyone!
One of our fondest events is coming up this Saturday. The residents of Mary Carpenter's
Beach in Matunuck RI have invited us again to lead their Light Parade to mark the end of
summer. This will be the 11th time the band has led the kids at sunset around the narrow,
magical, colorfully-lit streets of this cottage community.
Though technically a private event, if you happen to be down at the beach in Matunuck
or getting a beer at the Ocean Mist or getting ice cream at The Vanilla Bean on Saturday
at 7:00 PM or so and hear a marching band playing, come join us!

Hi everyone!
George Kent, a remarkably important musical presence in Rhode Island for many decades, passed away recently. A celebration of his life will take place in Westerly RI at Wilcox Park, immediately after his funeral. There will be musical performances in the park, and the Munroe Dairy Marching Band has been invited to perform in honor of George. Our bandleader, Gerry Heroux, inducted George into the RI Music Hall of Fame last year.
The park is open to the public, so feel free to stroll through and listen to music! The Marching Band will perform a short stroll starting at 7 PM, and ending at the historic 1902 park bandstand, so if you hear us, come by and say hello and give us a cheer!
