Re: marching in winter - inauguration

I'm part of a combined band (LGBA) that will be marching 177 at the parade. I'm a local here in dc. The biggest problem she should expect is the wait. 4-6am lineup for a parade that doesn't start until 2pm. Hand and foot warmers and ear muffs/hat/gloves for the wait and places to stuff them in before step-off. Once you're moving.. you're moving in the inaugural parade which is essentially a military review.. not too much stopping historically. We've found cheap fingerless gloves in black or white at:

These looked promising for the actual parade.. although we used to just buy the cheap cotton ones from uniform stores and cut the finger tips off ourselves

and also these new things called "Wristies" that are also popular at places like REI or other camping stores although pricier.
