The Big Day Has Finally Arrived!

At Central Park West Waiting to be called into the parade

Its the big day and the band is running on pure adrenaline.  For them, sleep was not in the cards.  Far from the land of Sunshine these students are now having to endure the wind and the cold, but that's okay, the energy from the crowd makes them forget all about it.  For this is one of life's most memorable moments...

And here's Chuck at the Hotel New Yorker where he arrive at 5am.  In preparation for the big day, Chuck is getting his clown makeup just right!

Chuck in action on the parade route waving to the crowd and putting his jolly enthusiasm to work !  We are not completely convinced that being an attorney was his true calling.  The consensus is... he's a natural at being a clown!
