The Arizona Ghostbusters participated in the annual Fiesta Bowl Parade on January 3rd. There were more than a hundred entries in the parade this year and thousands in attendance. The parade was 2 miles down Central Ave in downtown Phoenix. We had an incredible reaction from the crowd. It was by far the largest event we have ever done. There were 7 team members in gear and 2 members carrying our banner in front of us.

Our local NBC affiliate ran a story about the parade preparations featuring our team here:

The parade was shown live commercial free on our local channel 3 as well as online streamed.

Here is a link to the full parade video online:

We are at the 44 minute mark, our local 501st is at the 100 minute spot. I am working on a youtube clip of just our segment. Unfortunately the female commentator didn't get us, but the other male commentator and the interviewer on the street loved us. She did redeem herself with us later during the 501st segment.

Here are some screencaps from the video

Another pic I've recieved. Far back is Keith, then John, closest is Matt S.

Here's another gaggle of pictures I've recieved from screencaps of the video taken by a friend of ours during the parade.

You guys never cease to amaze. Good job.

Thanks. It's been a progression of bigger and bigger events.

A really clear set of photos I recieved from a photographer at the parade.

I love this one. It looks like a still from an actual movie.

It does. Would have felt more like a movie if our Ecto was in there. Ran into a few delays but she should be done soon. We will hopefully be in many more parades.

Y'know, these pics reminds me of the parade scene from the RGB end credits

Lol I was thinking about the same thing!

We actually did do the dance a few times. We meant to get pics of it. I know there are some out there. People remember that more than anything else about the cartoon. Even with it always having the “upnext on ABC's one saturday morning” voiceover.
