Military Drummer at Koreatown Parade in LA

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

There were a lot of military vehicles during the parade. I voice-recorded a few notes as to what their units were but haven’t transcribed them yet, though I recall one being from the Gulf War. Lots of Korean-Americans in the military, quite a few who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan recently…

This distinguished gentleman was wearing a bow tie!

Again, apologies for the poor quality of the video clips. They actually don’t look so bad on my computer, but making another transfer to YouTube causes a lot of degradation. More colorful ones to come…

2009 Korean Festival Parade in Los Angeles

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

I’ve been poring over the video clips I took yesterday from the parade in Koreatown along Olympic Boulevard. So many good ones but it will take awhile to process them. Here’s one:

Traditional Korean costumes are so colorful. Such a shame that my old Flip camcorder was not up to the task of capturing the sights and sounds of the event. Oh, well. My luck will turn someday and then I’ll be able to afford a Flip UltraHD… I hope in time before next year’s Korean parade…

Sunday is the final day of the 2009 Korean Festival in Los Angeles. Till around 9 or 10 pm.
