Kazoo parade to feature Louie, Louie
By Andrea Pence
eporter
The Greater Dallas/Fort Worth
(GDFW) Chapter of the Leukemia
Society of America will present the
second annual Kazoo Revue and
Louie, Louie Parade at the West End
Marketplace Sunday, April 30, at 3:30
p.m., with the Kingsmen in tow.
The Leukemia Society is
hosting the parade in hopes of raising
money for Leukemia research.
“We are expecting a minimum
of 1,000 participants and hope to
raise $33,000: that is our goal,”
Delaina Simpson, GDFW Chapter of
the Leukemia Society assistant
director, said.
“When we introduced the
Louie, Louie Parade in Dallas this
past May, we attracted several
hundred individuals and received a
respectable amount of donations in
the neighborhood of $8,500,”
Simpson said.
Object of this event is to make
as much noise as humanly possible,
while marching two miles around the
West End Historic District in a semi-
organized procession.
‘The catch, though, is that all
the parade participants are only
allowed to hum or play the tune
Louie, Louie,” Simpson, said.
Participation in the parade is
open to individuals, brigades,
marching bands and floats. Floats
may consist of decorated wagons,
bicycles, or any other motorized or
non-motorized vehicles. All parade
participants are encouraged to wear
costumes and uniforms.
“We’re making a special appeal
to all area college and high school
organizations, bands, drill teams,
R.O.T.C., athletic teams, fraternities,
sororities, etc. to represent their
schools and show their spirit by
entering the parade,” Simpson, said.
“So far we have received calls
from students interested in forming
brigades with other colleagues and
friends. Some have even created
themes and costumes for their
brigades,” she said.
The parade will begin and end
in the outdoor plaza of the
Marketplace. It will be followed by
a free outdoor concert featuring The
Kingsmen, sponsored by the
Marketplace’s anchor tenant, Dallas
Alley.
A 20-judge panel composed of
local media personalities will be
stationed on the dock of Dick’s Last
Resort, a West End eatery and bar.
As the parade passes by, the
judges will determine winners in the
best costume, best float and most
school spirit categories.
“So far we have confirmed
three judges for the parade which
include Helen Bryant of the Dallas
Times Herald, Larry Powell of the
Dallas Morning News and Lucy
Nellca of ‘D’ Magazine," Simpson,
said.
Donations of $5 will secure a
parade pass and an official Louie,
Louie kazoo. Donations of $15 will
include a parade pass, kazoo and an
official Louie, Louie T-shirt.
Donations of $20 and more
will include a parade pass, kazoo, T-
shirt, parking pass, and an LP
featuring 10 rendentions of the song
Louie, Louie by various recording
artists, choirs and schools (The
Kingsmen, the Sandpipers and the
Rice University Marching Band).
“I hope the parade is extremely
successful, and we hope to surpass
our goals,” Simpson said.
Parade entry forms are
available at all local Arby’s
Restaurants.
The 1989 West End Kazoo
Revue and Louie, Louie Parade is
open to individuals of all ages.
