Kentucky Derby Festival
The Patriot Band and Guard will perform on May 1, 2008 in the 53rd Pegasus Parade for the Kentucky Derby. Here is some information on the Parade.
Mac King has followed a more traditional path to success. Growing up in Louisville's Cherokee Park area, he was inspired by his grandfathers — Elwood Huffman and Pax King — both keen amateur magicians. He joined the Louisville Magic Club at age 14. Mac was recently named "Magician of the Year" by the Magic Castle in Hollywood, and he is the only performer to be featured in all five of NBC TV's "World's Greatest Magicians" specials. Currently, Mac can be seen in The Mac King Comedy Magic Show at Harrah's Las Vegas.
Other parade celebrities included Kate Flannery of NBC's "The Office," Milena Govich of NBC's "Law and Order," Navi Rawat of CBS' "NUMB3RS," April Bowlby of CBS' "Two and a Half Men," actor and comedian J. Anthony Brown and Kate Linder of CBS' "The Young and the Restless."
Also returning from the sixth straight year was "Absolutely Pegasus," the character balloon being carried down the route by parade sponsor Republic Bank & Trust Company. The symbol of the Kentucky Derby Festival contains more than 6,000 cubic feet of helium.
Supporters of Kosair Charities were cheering down the parade route as their float took home the Sweepstakes Award for best overall float. Sustainable Louisville was awarded the Grand Prize Award (Best Overall — Self Built), Kentucky State Fair Board took the Festival's Chairman's Award and the Parade Chairman's Award for Best Overall — Commercial Built went to Grand Lodge of Kentucky.
Eleven floats and eight inflatable characters joined equestrian units and marching bands from across the country. Seneca Valley High School from Pennsylvania took top honors in the AT&T Real Yellow Pages Battle of the Bands competition. Calloway County High School of Kentucky finished second in the voting, followed by Jasper High School of Jasper, IN.
