On our way back from delivering meals on Thanksgiving we strolled a side street lined with buses. This one says on the right "Concord Band Bus #1" and on the left "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade".
No band I was ever part of went to anything this fancy but I rode on plenty of band buses. Not nearly as many, though, as my dad who has run many a band and drum corps in his time. The last one, I think, was for the NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade and I chaperoned the lower brass and drum line for him in a downpour. Good times. No, actually they were.
It wasn't until I was already setting up this shot that I realized the driver was still in the bus. Thank you, sir, for not leaping out of the bus and telling me off!

In the early '80s, I had the privilege of working around the block from the LoneStar Cafe on 5th and 13th, in front of which one often saw the band buss for Bo Diddley!!!
