Modern OG history:2014. Kazoo band for the Independence Day Parade. But not for 2025.

2014. Heather McLaughlin  says,  

“Driving Jersey”, a PBS series will soon feature the Ocean Grove parade and the Kazoo Band!    Click below:

 

 

And here is a link to the 2015 version of the parade.   Blogfinger.net

2025;   The Independence Day parade will be on July 5 instead of July4 this year.

Over the years,  we could  count on the amazing Days Kazoo Band  to be featured in the parade,  and everyone loves these hummers who wear their Kazoo Band T shirts,  and they love to perform  patriotic music.

But it was absent last year and will  be AWOL this year.  It seems that the person who usually organizes this unique kazoo musical event is unavailable, and there is no Plan B.

You would think that the CMA could have found a volunteer to organize  the kazooers.  And it could have been pretty easy for some Grover organization such as the OG Community  Association or the Chamber of Commercials to organize the Kazooers .  But no such luck.

    Reblogged this on Blogfinger and commented:

    This delightful video was done by Grover Heather McDonald and posted in July, 2014. If any of you wan to join the Days’ Kazoo Band, just go to Days after they open and speak to one of the owners. But don’t forget, you don’t blow into a kazoo—–you hum.
