This photo is from 1939, but this band marching on Second Street was familar to Menasha residents for generations. Living at the end of this block, I saw the band extensively during my growing up years, not to mention having two brothers deeply involved. And how cool was that? I had a parade marching right past my front door numerous times during the year! Didn't every kid?
Yes I did have a parade marching right past my front door numerous times during the year! I lived right on the corner where this photo was taken.
ReplyDeleteI used to work at the Sunset Haven nursing home and we'd get to watch the parades with the patients.
ReplyDeleteWhere was the nursing home??
ReplyDeleteSunset Haven Nursing Home was in the large building on the NW corner of First and Milwaukee. I don't remember the St. Mary Band marching down that far during their practice sessions, but that was a very long time ago.
