Young Men Olympian's 128th Anniversary 2012 Parade with Rebirth



This video is from the Young Men Olympian's 128th anniversary parade in September 2012. This Club always has one of my favorite annual second lines, and they usually have multiple divisions with several different brass bands that can stretch for a half mile across the route. You can read a bit about the Club's history here.  This particular video is of Rebirth Brass Band, although you will notice the double sousaphone (rarer at their club gigs) and that Phil Frazier is walking around in front of the band without his sousaphone on towards the end of the video. You'll also notice Mason right in front of the band.  He's a member of the club that can often be seen breaking it down at Sunday parades,  always ready to holla with a smile on his face.  He formerly did business with our office mail room before taking on a recurring part as one of Davis' friends on HBO's Treme.  Love it or hate it, that show definitely had some REAL people, not just actors...
