Woodland String Band

Plans are underway for a big parade to celebrate Windsor's 375th birthday! The parade will be held September 27, 2008, stepping off at noon from the Sage Park/Windsor High School complex. The parade route is approximately 1 mile long.
The Windsor 375 Planning committee is proud to announce that the Woodland String Band, a "mummers" band from Philadelphia, PA will be joining us for the Windsor 375 Parade!
The Woodland String Band was established in February 1926 and has competed in the annual Philadelphia Mummers Parade every year since January 1st, 1927. The band performs a unique brand of Philly style entertainment that includes music comprised of instruments from the reed, string and percussion instruments combined with the wearing of colorful fancy costumes, consistent with each year's new theme. The members of Woodland pride themselves on being a family organization, currently including seventeen father and son combinations, one of which includes three generations.
In the tradition of mummery, Woodland performs a new and exciting choreographed theme of song and dance (similar to a mini Broadway show) each year and strives for excellence, finishing in the top ten of the annual parade 55 times (19 out of the past 20 years), including 15 top five finishes and three first place Captain's prizes during our 80 years of existence.
