Heroes Day Ceremony

So today is Heroes day in sunny Grand Cayman. We went to Heroes square and got to watch the Awesome Ceremony. The Governor was there as well as the Premier. It was very interesting hearing them speak about Heroes and how we need to go back to the high standards of our ancestors. One particularly interesting thing was when the Premier said that kids shoulden't be wearing their pants around their bottoms instead of their waists, It got the loudest applause of anything else he said. They openly sang church hymns and there was a mass choir that sang (I could have been a part of it except I didn't think I had the time). The National Hero of this year was a Lady who was Part of the Educational system. She looked very old. Watching the parade was also very interesting and amusing. the police band was quite good but I was more impressed with the John Hicks High School Band. They played the 007 theme, Hogans Heroes theme, Supercalifragilisticexpalidocious from Mary Poppins, Pirates of the Caribbean theme, and that "Hey now" song by Smash Mouth. All in all it a very unique experience.
