The Mt. Juliet Christmas parade is today. They usually schedule it depending when Lebanon’s Christmas parade is….which in turn schedule depending when Nashville’s parade is….which in turn schedule their parade according to if there’s a Titans home game. It was a bad day for a parade. UT is playing Kentucky at 11:30, while the parade was scheduled to start at noon. More people are likely to stay home and watch the game.
The Mt. Juliet High School band isn’t even participating in the parade. A friend of mine who is in the band said that there was not enough people to march. So they decided not to march. I guess many of them were visiting relatives for the Thanksgiving break….or working…. It might cause problems when trying to build community support for the band. Many community leaders could care less about the number of band contests the band goes to throughout the year. They only care about if they show up at the parade. MJ isn’t even going to Lebanon’s Christmas parade.
