The May Day Parade by Wayne Harris

The Marsh
San Francisco, CA

This is an unforgettable story about family, religion and staying in step! Along the way we bump into an alcoholic deacon in a Baptist Church basement, a zen-like marching instructor who flew helicopters in Viet Nam and a dozen letter girls bumping and grinding down a St. Louis boulevard.

"Theres a parade coming!"....so, get a seat on the curb with a snow cone and watch as Wayne Harris portrays 1 Baptist preacher, 3 generations on a porch, a 4 man bass drum ensemble, 12 rather large letter girls bumping and grinding down a mid-town boulevard and the 100 member Pleasant Green Missionary Baptist Church Drum & Bugle Corps.

Award winning performer and San Francisco Bay Area favorite, Wayne Harris, takes us on a road less traveled(or maybe less marched) as he prepares at 8 years old, for his first parade maneuvering between a jealous big brother, a drunken deacon, a foul mouthed banner partner, new shoes and a grandmother of biblical proportions. all while learning the value of family, history and the importance of staying in step!

Harris is the former Program Director of the six time World Champion San Jose Raiders Color Guard.
