Defense Continued from A4 prepared. In earlier days, no one rushed away from home to shop at a mall, and we had never heard of Black Fridays. There were no smart phones to keep people from partici pating in conversations. And, during November, radio station would not have dared to play Christmas music and local residents certainly didn’t put up Christmas decorations. That would have been deemed outrageous! At any rate, we are fortu nate to have an important holiday tradition that is still with us — the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. In the early days of tele vision, the live broadcasts from New York City were not to be missed. All around the country black and white television sets tuned into the spectacular holiday event, a long processional of superb marching bands, motorized floats, Broadway perform ers and gigantic balloons fashioned into shapes of Bullwinkle, Snoopy, and Superman. The buzz of the holiday crowd, packed five and six deep, would rise when favor ite floats, bands, or movie stars came into view. The voices of the televi sion commentators became excited with anticipation when the renowned Monroe Girls Drum and Bugle Corps came into view. These attractive schoolgirls from rural Georgia were a perennial hit, appearing for many years in the Macy’s Parade before a national television audience of over 60 million viewers. The musical performance and showmanship of the Monroe girls electrified New York crowds. Decked out in purple skirts, white blouses and plumed shakos, this entertaining contingent literally thundered down Broadway to wild and enthu siastic applause. With blaring horns, pounding snare, tenor and bass drums, and wildly fluttering skirts, the march ing band quickstepped with fancy footwork and intricate routines that are rarely seen today.
