Check out the DHS Marching Barbs in the Chicago Thanksgiving Parade
The DHS Marching Barbs are participating in the 2018 Chicago Thanksgiving Parade. You can find the parade televised on WGN Chicago and WGN America. Parade steps off at 8 a.m., but the first part of the televising is actually extended TV viewing stuff. The continuous parade should start around 9 a.m. Per Mr. Lundin, the Barbs are unit 61, and the band will be live tweeting when they step off @marchingbarbs so people can follow on TV. Per Director Lundin, best guess for TV time is between 10:00-10:30 AM. Be sure to check them out!!!
