Sousaphones doubled

The Juneteenth parade on the East Side was cancelled because of threatening weather last year, so there are no pictures from it. One of my photographs from the East Side parade the year before, slightly cropped, has been selected as an illustration for this year's Alvin Patterson Battle of the Bands and Drumline Competition. This was either taken with a JamCam or with the Concord Mini EyeQ toy camera. Both go to events, because one captures eight images and the other two dozen at best. That's not a large number, even with both cameras along, but it's the max possible when it comes to digital images. The list of bands looks great. Our favorites are Hearne, Beaumont, and our own growing Austin all-star band.
