Bill & Emily's Musical Exploits

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 11th at the Columbus Day parade on Federal Hill in Providence. It's a short parade down Atwells 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!

Our second appearance will be at the big 37th Autumnfest Parade in Woonsocket on Monday,
Oct 12th, stepping off at 9:30 AM. Once again we will be representing Woonsocket's own
Moonlight House of Wieners, and we've rounded up a collection of young dancing hot dogs
to join us.

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

Hello everyone!

We have another event this Sunday, Sep 20th. We'll be marching as the Greenwood Firehouse Marching Band, escorting 9 of Greenwood's antique firetrucks to the 11th Annual Muster of the Rhode Island Antique Fire Apparatus Society! (This is the event that was postponed from June because of rain.)

The show is free & open to the public from 10 AM to 3 PM at Glen Farm in Portsmouth RI. We'll be there in the morning in our fireman dress uniforms to pipe the trucks in and then march about until noon or so. These trucks are amazing! Come enjoy the last weekend of summer!

Hi everyone!

For our next event the Marching Milkman Band will be back in Pawtucket. We will be performing in the Slater Park Fall Festival, part of the continuing Pawtucket Arts Festival. This is a two-day event, and we will be there on the second day, Sunday Sep 13th, right at the opening at 11 AM. We'll be marching about for an hour or so, that's all I know so far - if you hear us come find us!

Hi everyone!

We had a blast in Pawtucket at the Arts Festival Gala last week - here's a short video of us:

Up next: the most charming event of the year for us. The residents of Mary Carpenter's Beach in Matunuck RI have invited us again to lead their Illuminated Parade to mark the end of summer. This will be the fourth time the band has led the kids at sunset around the narrow magical streets of this cottage community. Though technically a private event, if you happen to be in Matunuck on Saturday at 6:30 PM and hear a marching band playing, come join us!

Hi everyone!

As the summer winds down, the Marching Milkman Band is on a roll - 8 gigs in 8 weeks! This Friday evening, Aug 28th, starting at 5:30 PM, the band will be serenading the crowds at the Pawtucket Arts Festival's Blackstone River Party/Taste of the Valley, right in downtown Pawtucket. We'll begin as the lines form at the gates and play until they kick us out (well, actually when the stage acts begin at 7).

Happy July everyone!

The Marching Milkman Band will make its 12th appearance at the Fourth of July parade in Bristol this Saturday, July 4th, rain or shine! The parade runs from 10:30 AM to about 2:30 PM. We'll be up front again this year in the Chief Marshal's Division. And we'll be supporting Munroe Dairy's parade carnival - there'll be dancing cows, big moo & mini moo milktrucks, milkmen playing tubas, trombones, and trumpets, and who knows what else. Come join the fun and cheer us on!

Hello everyone!

This Saturday, June 13th, the Munroe Dairy Marching Band will parade at the Gaspee Days Parade in Pawtuxet (Warwick/Cranston) RI. It's the 50th anniversary! Munroe Dairy really pulls all the stops for this big, colorful event! The parade steps off at 10 AM. We are usually toward the end, finishing up around 1:30 PM. It's a very cool parade, featuring groups in authentic historic costumes (and milkmen in their whites). Come out and give us a cheer!

It's that time of year! The Marching Milkman Band will make the 2nd appearance of its 12th year this Saturday at a small parade in East Providence. We and Munroe Dairy will
be helping the Rumford Little League open their season - isn't that cute? We'll parade around the block and to the ballpark and then play during the ceremonies.
