BROCKPORT, N.Y., Aug. 1 - In size, this firemen's parade is beginning to rival the extravaganza in Greece, N.Y., reported on a few weeks ago. Due to the size, we will list the outstanding units of this parade. The Blue Angels of Greece, N.Y. - best junior firemen's drum corps. The Holley Hawks of Holley, N.Y. - the best senior non-firemen's band. Father Kelley's Boys of Batavia, N.Y. - best junior non-firemen's corps. The Grenadiers from Albion, N.Y. (that-a-way to go Bob Janus) best senior non-fiermen's drum corps. Barnard Band from Greece, N.Y. - best firemen's band. Interesting to note the Holley Hawks and Albion Grenadiers tied for color guard honors. Lake Shore Wavettes lost color guard by a mere 1/2 point.

Since the New York - Canadian Championships, Betty has been entertaining one of the cocci family - strepti by name, so we have been on our leash so to speak and had to miss some of the events that we had planned to take in in this area. This is where your friends come in handy.

From Bobby Blonowicz, we got the scores from a contest held at the county fair at Caledonia, N.Y. The Statesmen, Irondequoit, N.Y., came in first with a score of 84. The Alpine Girls were second with 79 and the Dutchtown Lancers of Rochester, N.Y. with 73.

The Crusaders were in exhibition and we understand that they outscored themselves quite a bit above the New York - Canadian Championships.

Remember, triumph is just "umph" added to "try". Hang in there.
