About This Year's Presentation
Come along with the Quaker City String Band as they Strike Gold!
It’s time to head west with the First Prize String Band of the 2014 Mummers Parade. Led by our 3rd Prize Captain, Jim Good, we board the Train playing California Here I Come and arrive with maps in hand in search of the GOLD. Captain Good then ignites the mines to reveal we’ve struck gold in those Golden Slippers! Finally chow time is upon us and we are entertained by our banjos dazzlingly picking to a tune of Oh Susanna.
After a day of panhandling in the mighty Shenandoah, everyone grabs their tools to dance into the evening and celebrate our riches. Surprisingly one last golden bolder finds it’s way into town, however not even that can stop Quaker City from Comin’ Around the Mountain.
Interesting Facts
- This was the first time in costume – ever – for first time captain, James Good. Most String Band captains have had previous experience in the parade before taking this step.
