P-rade

Watching Princeton's annual alumni parade ("P-rade"), which drew 40,000 "tigers" back for Reunions. Below, a few mad scenes. (Last year's madness.)


Collage shots by Mr. L (I'm so impressed by that Class of '42 guy marching! It was 91F/33C!)

Lulu, you have a great time watching this fantastic parade. It's so colorful and so festive. I love the first picture, that is a very interesting angle and very compelling.

And a tiger, tall and funny is looking so great:)))))

Thank you so much! Those alumni really do go a bit nuts each year:)

Talk about school spirit! Love how the children in the top shot are decked out in their oranges. My boys would have so enjoyed being there (and growling along :)

William Kendall said...

Forty thousand???

Our alumni aren't all that enthusiastic about coming back....

Good shots!

Jack said...

Don't you love traditions like this? I had a very fit Class of 1942 marcher from Brown on my commencement series last week.

LONDONLULU said...

William - yes, 40K! (20K alumni + 20K of their family, including some alumni grandchildren etc:)

Jack - haha, it's a bit mad but terrific!

Randy said...

Looks like fun. Nice shots too.

Looks like fun and I would love to take a photo with those cool tigers.

Thank you for the story about your classmate's letter to Mr. Schulz. You are right, I saw a video about his life and he seemed like such a nice man.

This P-rade looks like sooo much fun!

My apologies for the lack of posts and visits again. We all tried squeezing in a few last trips before the start of the new school year (today!) and this hermit has neither a laptop nor a tablet. :)
