After wrapping up last year's parade season with the Double Ten parade, we made it a point to freshen up room 408, or as most members call it -- The Office. We added a new couch for guests, parents and potential members to sit on. A large plasma television was donated to the Corps in which we mounted onto the wall. The biggest change though was replacing all the photos of yesteryear that had been hanging on the office walls for at least five years.

The Year 2012 is the 4709th Chinese or Lunar year. And a parade is a great way to celebrate the year of the dragon--the water dragon to be specific. We marched around the community through lions and dragons, but it was no match for our drums beating while our horns and fifes sang through the streets.
