Description	Photographer's caption reads, "In an unfortunate turn of events, the Hollywood High School Marching Band was the final band in the 77th Annual Hollywood Christmas Parade. They were preceded by nineteen bands from places that take marching bands very, very seriously: Decatur, Alabama; Littleton, Colorado; Bloomington, Minnesota; Shawnee Mission, Kansas; Red Lion, Pennsylvania; places like that. The bands marched with precision. They pumped out polished music. At last, the Hollywood High School Marching Band arrived led by a phalanx of cheerleaders bearing glittering letters: H-O-L-L-Y-W-O-O-D. As the band started to straggle by, I tried to be charitable. But it's tough to compete with the mighty Fighting Bears from Milledgeville, Georgia. I watched the Hollywood band head down the red carpet - meager ranks and staggered rows, tatty costumes and ragged music - toward the cameras and the nationwide television audience."
