MLK Dream Big Parade will feature the famous, fabulous FAMU marching band

Did you see the Tampa Bay Times story the other day about the famous, fabulous FAMU marching band making a appearance at the MLK Dream Big Parade on Monday? First time in St. Petersburg in 10 years. It's an interview with the band's new director, Shelby Chipman, and it's worth your time to read it. The big parade is shaping up to be quite an event. The Tuskegee University Marching Crimson Piper Band, a talented outfit in its own right, will be in the parade, too. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston will be grand marshal. In the same story, you can get all the details about the parade and the free Family Fun Festival that follows in the Tropicana Field parking lot. A free block party follows at the Deuces on 22 Street S at Ninth Avenue.
