Forty Delegates to the 93 international convention in Sydney dressed in our Texas Parade uniforms gathered in Hyde Park in Sydney on Tuesday June 29th, 2010. Our Texas Leos were stationed with the rest of the Leos of the world closer to the beginning of the parade (2 Leos and 2 Leo advisors) Came back to the end of the parade and marched again with the Texas delegation.
Texas was closer to the end of the parade so we stepped off closer to 2 pm. The parade went down the oldest streets in Sydney downtown area from St Mary's Cathedral down past the old Hospital and Conservatory and past the Royal Botanical gardens down to the harbor and ended a short distance from the Sydney Opera House. It was fun for this first timer and I am looking forward to marching in Seatle in 2011 as well. Our Music was different although we had a band on a truck. The band was a jass type band you have not lived to here the yellow rose of Texas in a jass beat. The consensus of the group was we had a great time.
Make your plans to join the Texas Delegation for the 94 international Convention in Seattle, Wa July 4th through the 8th 2011. I want to thank all Texans that came to Sydney. I know this first-timer had a great time in Sydney.
