This year's Rockville parade was held Saturday night as a part of the ROCK-FEST festival. We were unit number 79 among a total of around 100 units.

This is a story about the people sitting along the parade route and their willingness to do the "DigElog WAVE!" It's a fun piece with coverage of hundreds of folks who were enjoying the parade.

There's also great coverage here of the St. Cloud Community Band. The band, who was located right in front of the DigElogROCORI van, did some very nice things in this video story. You'll enjoy watching it.
