Default Bonnie Brae Knights

Yes,
I saw the Bonnie Brae boys marching in their blue and yellow uniforms.
Their place was late in the parade -- 2/3 or 3/4 of the through and it was dark by the time that they passed the White House viewing stand.

Here's a news piece talking about how they did:

Bonnie Brae Knights thrilled with Washington experience, marching in Inaugural Parade


Quote:
Enduring extreme cold, long delays and hauling around heavy instruments, 14 young drummers from Bonnie Brae School reveled in their moment of glory on Tuesday, Jan. 20 when they marched in the Inauguration Day Parade for President Barack Obamaand First lady Michelle Obama.

"They said Michelle Obama waved to them,'' said Cathy Phillips, special events manager for Bonnie Brae, a residential learning facility for adolescent boys with troubled pasts.

The Bonnie Brae Knights drummers rolled home to their school in the Liberty Corner section of the township at about 2 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 21, after performing in a show watched worldwide, Phillips said later Wednesday.

"I think they thought it was everything they thought it would be,'' she said. . . . .
