Joe's Boys are still the class of the String Bands!

[@laur1987hilt]

They sound so Philly I love it lol 😂

[@davidwadsworth8982]

Instead of going out and party your ass off in Philly on New Years Eve, put that desire off for a few hours and lite it up New Years Day at this orgy of fun and consumption of strong spirits. Hit the parade, and then hit 2 Street, the mummers H.Q. after the parade.Stay till the wee hours. But do not expect to make work on the 2nd. This festival / event is insane fun. Nothing like it anywhere else in America. A true Philly original and only.

Thank you, Philly Captain. I love it!

[@starcruze328]

Yo, Cap, thanks for bringing a smile to the face of this Philly guy stuck in California. Great job, Ferko!! Go Mummers and GO BIRDS!!

[@fl3X_kayd3n]

As the son of the the ferko hall of famer Kenny Schwarz its awesome to see that they still have the ferko mentality. Tell everyone I (Kayden Schwarz) that I say hi.

[@willyfromphlly812]

Ferko looked great.👏👏

[@richorr4124]

Thanks for your mummers video , as a life long fan of the Mummers, this was a fantastic video and look at all the hard work that these string bands do to show off their talents. Next year bring Adam the Woo up for it. I think he would love it

[@desertdweller8374]

You are doing the Lord's work for this misplaced Philly girl!!! WOW - the parade has come a long way in terms of costume and props since I began watching in the 70's but it's still about those great musicians!!! (Also, why did I never notice that it's basically one big drag queen parade.) HA! JK - anyway thanks for covering this... brought back memories and enjoying the new spin on things! I really loved your coverage - behind the scenes and the up close and personal look. Fantastic, Philly Captain!!!

[@Sochi7413]

I have always wanted to go to the mummers parade. I'm 41 years old and I finally made it there. I was able to take my kids and they had such an amazing time. It was such a beautiful thing! Thanks for the tips!

[@bruceemswiler4505]

[@johnchambers8528]

Thanks for this great video. It really shows what goes on behind the scenes to get the show on Broad Street on New Years Day. Featuring Ferko String Band was a great choice. They always put on a great show.

Thank you for covering the Mummers. It brings back memories of my time in Philly in the mid to late 90's.

[@Christy903]

This is an amazing video. Love the behind the scenes look at all the hard work everyone does. Thank you Captain! Happy New Year!

[@420glass]

What a great parade Thanks for posting

[@Joyce-bg1jh]

Really nice parade!❤️🎉🎊

[@flyerbob124]

Grew up in West Chester watching the parade every year. I do miss the old style Mummers where it was more about that music and less about the theatrics. Still all in all the best new years parade.🤗

[@bob4364]

Hey PHILLY CAPTAIN, great coverage & video of Ferko String Band and the New Years Mummers Parade..Happy New Year & TOODLES..

[@davidmusser511]

Outstanding video!! It's awe-inspiring!!

[@KarenLeeTLS]

Excellent work, Philly Captain and Ferko String Band! Happy New Year 2024🎉🥳🎊

[@BPRH0921]

Got my picture with the Philly captain I was was with the Hegeman string band. Hopefully he remembers the guy in the red and gold suit.

[@justbarry587]

A fun time can't wait. Hi Captain❄⛄🎠🐧

[@merccadoosis8847]

#1 New Year's Parade in USA? Wow! Better than Rose Parade?? Hey, who am I to argue against it. Mummer's #1 !!! Note to our Captain ~ remember how you said you try to avoid saying "Mummer's Day Parade"? Or words to that effect. Well, during yesterday's broadcast on WFMZ, the announcers said "Mummer's Day Parade" several times. Therefore, go ahead and use that term. With the Parade being designated as the USA's #1 the term is now quite apropos. Thank you for this video.

[@merccadoosis8847]

I watched the video and it struck me that a PA announcer appeared to say "Mummers Day Parade" @18:46 - this in front of the Union Hall (?) building. Again, all the more reason to call it such. 😀

[@Jsteng08]

Thanks Captain This was such a great video absolutely loved it Happy New Year Captain and family

[@cminner6195]

Really thought they had third. Esp with the harp and singing.

[@thomaswillans4085]

Cap, can you scoot down to Mighty Mick's for a building renovation update?And 1818 Tusculum, please. Peace from London ❤

[@mikeleone1347]

Best thing about this is ... hardly any of these guys are full time professional musicians. They're plumbers, bricklayers, cops, etc. True amateurs ...

[@michaelhudecek2778]

[@alainabreakiron9709]

@8:39 I found Seth Rollins! 😂😂

[@drobousmc]

A mixture of pagan, Christian, queer, bizarre, macabre, fun, cheer, carnival, Alice in Wonderland, Mario, Mardi Gras and who knows what else, but good music

[@peterheisey6464]

One of the most enjoyable videos I have ever seen on KZbin, great job. I used to go to the parade in the 80s and 90s, it brought back some good memories. They even played some Rush at kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4a7nn18aMuEqJIsi=OILdXKcPxqGC24WX&t=470 👍La Villa Strangiato!

[@prushimush]

Judges checked out after the first 5 bands this year. Not just Ferko but Avalon, Greater Kensington and Polish American all ranked lower this year despite putting on better shows than last year. New ideas were punished. Maybe the SBA should replace some judges.

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

I felt horrible for Polish America. They are my OG squad and they made me a fan of string bands in the 80’s. If you see their show they had a prop door fall down. They were having problems with that elevator all day. It was such a cool idea they always sound good. They will have an incredible comeback next year . Greater Kensington was amazing. Ferko never sounded better. Avalon was so creative. South Philly and Quaker City are on another level. Can’t wait for next year

[@chipmulligan8963]

Damn, they let Gary Barbera out of prison? 😂

[@jasonshurtz9885]

7th place is not justified, this was a top 3….ROBBED of a podium placement!

[@prushimush]

Judging this year was frankly an embarrassment. Not just for Ferko - Greater K, Polish American and Avalon all placed lower than 2022. Did they just check out after the first few bands?

[@alainabreakiron9709]

Where's Seth Rollins?
