2006 July 4th Parade
Another edition of the Pittsfield 4th of July Parade live from Downtown Pittsfield.        

Jody Kordana stands among the chaos that is an unpacked truck. You can see scaffolding that still needs to be built and cables that need to be run.	Dave Cachat, Rob Dumais, and Shawn Serre contemplate what should be done next.

Now that the camera is set up, Matt can relax. Nothing like being on a roof 14 stories off the ground to help with a tan.	Shawn gives the thumbs up on a successful setup.
Gabe Russell, Jessican Mormann, Bernie Avalle and Bob Hamel take a breather after setting things up.	Jessica Mormann gets ready to run the wireless microphone during the parade. This mic allows us to get sounds from bands and floats during the parade.

Parade hosts Larry Kratka and Sharon Harrison just prior to going live on the air.	Bob Hamel gets ready to run camera 2.
