May 17th: The children's parade in Moss




It was fairly cold and windy when the
children's parade took place today, but both
students and spectators were there
to make the most of it.
It looked like it was going to rain at any moment.




Moss is a fairly small town, but the students from
sixteen local schools marched to the music played
by at least six local bands.
These were both school orchestras (called Skolekorps
in Norwegian), but also orchestras with grownups.

In addition, there were three or four bands that
had come from Sweden and Denmark.

This is the day where the Norwegian flag is to be
seen everywhere, and in all sizes.
