Ahoy Captain. As always, another outstanding video. Appx 12:35 ~ yeah, I well remember when the kid dropped that commemorative to honor his dad a few years back. Very touching moment in Mummers history Appx 14:20 ~ I gotta agree that South Philly are the NY Yankees of Mummers Parade. I voted them # 1 for this year. Simply the best. Castlevania ~ what a show! Appx 37:50 ~ I loved that deep bass saxophone. Very compelling music. Great to see so many young people keeping up the Mummers tradition. This is one great fest that's gonna be around for a long time to come. Defo deserves nationwide and worldwide attention. Years ago WGN broadcasted part of it. They should so again. I was shocked to see Ferko at # 9. Jeepers! They deserved a higher ranking. I thought they had great costuming, dancing, and music. Definitely did better than 9th place. Thanks for showing the world what a great thing the Mummers are. GREAT video.

Thanks for the behind the sceans of the Mummers parade on New Year’s Day. You showed how hard they prepare even up to the time they start the parade. Then some live shots along the parade route and the traditional 2 street parade back to the club house. Seeing them watch their performance back at the club house. Finally seeing their disappointment with their finishing position but ready to try and improve for next year and feel proud how well they did. Happy New Year to all!

I’m so confused on how these bands work 😭 I’m from National Park SJ. My town apparently used to have a stringband but they stopped it, that year there was one guy walking around our town with the whole suit on and everything. I never even realized how important it was having that band in our town

Happy New Year Captain. I do love your Mummers vlogs. It takes me back to when my Grandmom and I would take a bus trip to see them every year. I’m going to date myself when I say this, but I remember when the Mummers only allowed men to participate. It’s great to see the young men and women carry on the tradition. Thanks for the memories my friend.

I can't believe you mentioned your favorite band polish-american did Dr high tech I think that was around 1985 and then they did the same thing the next year that is exactly what got me into the mummers even more my father belonged to the Polish American club and I'll never forget that I was shocked when you mentioned that that just become the most popular theme of all time

My dad played for PA in the 50s and 60s. They won 2 or 3 times when he played. I think the first Dr. Hi-Tech was 1986 and 1987. When they won in ‘86, my dad took us to watch them drill up Allegheny Ave.

When my dad wasn’t marshaling (for Duffy), he would call someone and pretty much get the results before everyone. He died in 1991 at the age of 49.

The Mummers put time, effort, money, planning into putting on a show to entertain the people. The comics just want to get drunk, put on silly costumes, and put no effort into it (well, the wenches comics. The actual comics who make floats, etc, they're all right) ... I grew up in South Philly, back in the day, we would spend hours at the parade.
