Band, ‘Rettes travel to France Finally, after months of anticipation, weeks of preparing,and days of packing, the KC Ranger Band and Rangerettes departed on two different day for Nice, France. The week-long journey would include several performances, tours, and just plain fun. The first day was spent mainly on the airplane. The lobby of the hotel after their arrival resembled just what it looked like—a bunch of tired, but excited kids checking in at a hotel in a foreign country. The floor soon disappeared under the patchwork colors of leather, fabric, and vinyl suitcases. The first parade, the Battle of the Flowers, that Tuesday prepared the two groups for future parades to come. The crowd threw flowers, confetti, and squirted silly string. American parades were never like that! Between performances, the ‘Rettes and Band toured scenic Monaco, Eze, St. Paul, and Grasse. Friday of that week, they performed at Cannes on the largest stage in Europe, the same stage the Cannes Film Festival is held. By this time everyone was getting tired of bread, which was served without fail with every meal. The food, language, and money system were difficult to get accustomed to, but that didn’t stop them from having fun. Saturday, February 8, the Parade of Lights in downtown Nice was a highlight of the trip. The crowd wasn’t prepared for a band and drill team that were armed with silly string to squirt back at them. The ‘Rettes and Band learned the meaning of “crowd participation’’. Sunday, the ‘Rettes left early in the morning to catch their long flight home. It was just beginning to snow and by afternoon, the parade the Band was to perform in was cancelled. Maybe it was just as well-they didn’t wan’t four inches of good snow (almost never seen on the Riviera) to go to waste! Finally, everyone arrived home after an active week, days of craving real American food, and hours spent trying to sleep on an airplane. The week-long French experience had come to an end. 20
