2024 South Philadelphia String Band - “Christmas Bizarre”

[@FranMrozinski]

Best performance by far on the street this year! If they don't take first, they were robbed. Phenomenal job South Philly! Best of luck!!

[@robertbradshaw4386]

I am a former member of Ferko. This performance was simply magic. Well done to everyone in South Philly!!

[@user-nf5hs6jb9j]

Absolutely took our breath away watching in Cocoa Beach, FL. It was my #1 FAVORITE before they even announced it as the winner. We don't see many traditional christmas/holiday mummer themes very often. Hope to be back to see next year's in person again. :)

I was up the street from the judges box when SP got done and I literally GASPED at the costumes - I knew right then and there they were gonna take it. Incredible!

[@benjaminwilson4558]

[@gilwood7530]

I havent lived in Philly in 20 years ...DAMN THIS WAS AMAZING

[@Famdockevin1]

I'm 52, and been watching the String Bands all my life. This was outstanding. So much going on here. We're so lucky to have the Mummers here in Philadelphia, and this was the best of some really great bands. Maybe one of the best performances I've seen through the decades.

[@eleanorparks5055]

Lots of variety to look. Guys in gold captured me. The band is kickin' it! 😅

[@nancykaufmann3993]

OMG those costumes! They were all so beautiful, I didn’t know where to look. Congrats SP!

[@vicsponjr]

Spectacular! Fantastic performance and amazing suits!

I thought this one would win and sure enough. I loved the opening look especially starting at 0.13 And the Gold ornaments were outstanding. All the customs were the best I've ever seen.

Fantastic job by this group! Makes me proud to be from Philly. I still think the Mario one should have won though

[@robertdebrus3732]

Such a great performance

[@gilwood7530]

[@lanabess3673]

Браво! Сколько фантазии, труда чтобы изготовить костюмы, поставить танцевальные номера.... Браво!!!

[@sandysorlien6688]

Our favorites streaming from RI. Congrats! But the streaming quality is horrible and was yesterday too - any better versions out there?

[@its.just.connie_3]

❤❤❤❤

[@lynnbrown6485]

Awesome performance. No wonder you were the winner. How do I get involved for next year?

[@TheWizardsLab]

Sorry, i miss the days before thebands had to put on broadway shows in the street. Give me the marching bands any day.

[@mari-bella]

Why is video quality so bad?

[@smtrop]

This was NOT a first place performance. The whole ranking system boiled down to who spent the most money, and they imported shit from Poland. The whole thing is pay to win now

[@justingraser7031]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@frankmorton1626]

Where's the Philly captain??
