Photos & Video of the Band's History

Santa Clara Parade of Champions - 1986

Ptah bought a new camcorder back in 1985 or so, and only recently uncovered some old tapes taken when the unit was still a novelty. These still shots were taken from Ptah's video of the Santa Clara Parade of Champions, October 5, 1986. This parade and our Annual Rehearsal, February 8, 1987, are available together on a DVD for your viewing pleasure!
