Signet march. Senior Ryan Longstreth and Junior Reece Myers march behind Senior James Horell while playing “Barnum and Bailey’s Favorite.”

On Saturday, Sept. 2, the annual Altoona Labor Day Parade will be held downtown. The parade begins at 10 a.m. and will last roughly 30 minutes.

“I think part of [why it is held on Saturday] is that the labor unions are trying to protect their holiday on Monday. It makes sense that they would do it on Saturday,” band director Larry Detwiler said.

The parade route will begin adjacent to the Green Avenue Towers, and will end next to the old Verizon building on 11th Avenue. The parade will also feature a performance from the marching band.

Ryan Longstreth, Reporter
My name is Ryan Longstreth, and I'm a senior. This is my second year on the Mountain Echo staff! I've always loved creative writing and have been writing since I was a kid. I play snare drum in the marching band and am a percussionist in the wind ensemble and symphonic orchestra. I'm also a member of the drama club, vocal ensemble and Scholastic Scrimmage quiz bowl team. After high school, I wish to attend Pennsylvania State University at the Eberly College of Science in order to pursue a master's degree in chemistry. I love all kinds of music, ranging from showtunes to classic rock. When I'm not busy with school, I enjoy I enjoy spending time with my friends, playing video games and watching movies. I'm happy to be able to be able to write for the Mountain Echo for another year!
