Grand style

I have covered a lot of grand openings and they are all pretty much the same.  Speeches, a ribbon cutting, it is a routine assignment.  what was different and kind of cool at the Macy's store grand opening was the Jefferson School marching band leading the shoppers through the doors.

It was kind of cool to watch them wind their way through the store's isles and had to be the the first time I have ever photographed a marching band playing indoors.
