June 2022 - The National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade 2022
About the Image(s)
The National Cherry Blossom Festival is a spring celebration in Washington, D.C., commemorating the March 27, 1912, gift of Japanese cherry trees from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo City to the city of Washington, D.C. Mayor Ozaki gave the trees to enhance the growing friendship between the United States and Japan and also celebrate the continued close relationship between the two nations. Large and colorful helium balloons, floats, marching bands from across the country, music and showmanship are parts of the Festival's parade and other events. (from Wikipedia)
This festival was back in person after two years online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic delays. My wife and I had an early reservation for better seats. We were lucky to be assigned on the sunlight exposure side of the parade. The parade lasted over two hours. I caught almost all the exciting moments with my iPhone handheld.

I saw you have some issues looking like overexposed footage (6:30), but you managed decently.
Nice story, well presented including the sound mix.

Greetings another good presentation. But seems to me a bit longer and kind of same subject marching men and bands from different organizations and locations. Well executed but could be within about 4 minutes .. ishh.
But I am sure it's a national program and all performers needed to be placed in the set kind of thing. shots, transitions & captions were all executed.
Thank you for sharing.
Cheers.
