Yeah that rocked. Cool costumes. I loved the way he pronounced Ooltewah. ;D I bet the parents chunked out some huge expenses for all that. I just see huge $$$$$$$$$$$. Is Ooltewah a city? It said 26,000. I was thinking it was still unincorporated.

how do you pronounce ooltewah anyway?
my cousin larry, a percussionist, was in the 1976 mcdonald's all american highschool band--a group of 102 students, 2 from every state plus the district of columbia--and they march in the macy's parade. at the grandstand, as part of their rountine, they came down toward the camera in groups of two, each turning out on their particular side at the camera.
oh the joy my mom got at watching larry that day. it's a big deal for the families when the kids go.

I say ooootewaaah. Some say ooooltewaah. Not sure which is correct.
I saw them in the parade (TV, of course), but I was proud for them. They looked cute and I'm sure they worked their booties off! Goo for them!! GO oooootewaaah! ;D

How to pronounce Ooltewah? I say, you pronounce the name of a town like the folks who live there do.
That's why Lafayette, GA is Luh-FAY-it, Norfolk VA is Nor-fuk, Whitwell, is Whoot-(as in foot)wul, Maryville is Mur-vill and Bledsoe County is Bled-saw.
So, the answer is....the 'L' is silent. It's OOT-uh-wah.

yeah... they do that up here... it's "balmer, marlyn".
westminister = wes-MIN-ster ellicott = ell-a-CUT marriottsville = merr-ITS-ville bel air = blurr
you wash your dishes in a "zink" you don't go to the beach... you go "down the ocean, hon" your car does not break down... it "goes up"... also see, the furnace went up, the TV went up, etc when one hates one's job... one complains about "my work"
heh... the orioles = them Os... and i always say "hey, they don't call 'em them Os for nuthin', hon"
that really chaps their asses.
there's a zillion more.... just like the zillion y'all got down there.

maybe it's your own bottle that's messing with your comprehension.
