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 8th 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! There's nothing quite like this parade.

Our second appearance will be at the huge 39th Autumnfest Parade in Woonsocket on Monday, Oct 9th, 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.

Bill & Emily's Musical Exploits

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 6th 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 down at the beach in Matunuck or getting ice cream at The Vanilla Bean on Saturday at 7:00 PM and hear a marching band playing, come join us!

Hey everybody,

Now that summer has lost a little of its sizzle, it's time for more parades! The Marching Milkman Band has three events over the next three weeks, so that's three opportunities to cheer us on.

This weekend the Marching Milkman Band will perform for the first time at the New England Quahog Festival in Wickford. We'll be representing Munroe Dairy in the annual Sea Creature Parade. The parade steps off at 12 noon this Sunday, August 27th.

Happy July everyone!
 
The Marching Milkman Band will make its 14th appearance at the Fourth of July parade in Bristol this Tuesday, July 4th, rain or shine!  The parade runs from 10:30 AM to about 2:30 PM. Rumor has it that 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. Emily won't be the only one in a dress this year!
 
Come join the fun and cheer us on!

Hello everyone!
 
Our first big parade of the season is coming up! This Saturday, June 10th, the Munroe Dairy Marching Band will parade at the 52nd Gaspee Days Parade in Pawtuxet (Warwick/Cranston) RI. 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!
 
Happy Spring!
Bill
