See more pictures on the Birchrunville home page. The entire band took this opportunity to make a fashion statement in honor of the good ole U.S. of A.

After nearly a year of careful planning and detailed design, the float begins to take shape.  King Tonga oversees the final construction details as Plowboy and the Delaware Destroyer check their instruments.

The floats began lining up prior to the parade as the capacity crowd flowed in toward the center of town.

The line up stretches for miles...well...okay...a half a mile at least. Here, our head roadie, Bill, explains how he completed the 38 step wax job on his red Chevy truck in just one easy step.

We can't start no parade with no dry mouth, now can we?

Killer, in his dual role of advance man, gets top billing for Voodoo DeVille on another impressive float.

The crowd goes wild as the Voodoo float nears.  Can't you just hear us eliciting cheers?

It's standing (and sitting) room only!

Quick, hide your beer! It's the man!

Girls go crazy!!  Fortunately, no injuries were sustained as the crowd jostled for position along the parade route.

Unscathed and triumphant, the band returns to home base with the banners only suffering minor damage. Already, we're hard at work back on the drawing boards laying out next year's float.  What magic must we work to top Independence Day 2000?

We have no idea who this guy is but our subtle sense of irony compelled us to include him in our gallery.
