If you have DJ service that entertains at weddings, anniversaries, birthday parties, or any social gathering, then grab your equipment, get a flatbed or even a pick-up truck and enter the parade.  You can play any music you like and talk to the crowd as you promote your business to everyone along the parade route and the people listening on the radio and watching the parade on cable and streaming video online.  Remember, to have signs on your vehicle telling everyone who you are.  This is your chance to get the crowd pumped up.

 

All those that are musically inclined, get your band on a flatbed and join the parade.  Imagine your band playing your music to all those people as the flatbed rolls down the parade route.  Be sure to have signs made so people know who you are.

Donald Trump is back in court this morning for his criminal hush money trial. The former president is being accused of falsifying business records to cover up payments to an adult film actress to keep her quiet about an alleged affair. His legal team will also be in Washington, DC today to try to convince the U.S. Supreme Court that he shouldn't face charges for his alleged election interference.        The governor of Texas says the pro-Palestinian protesters in Austin are antisemetic and "belong in jail." Hundreds of students walked out of classes Wednesday at the University of Texas and began a sit-in protest to support civilians in Gaza who are being bombed by Israel. Governor Greg Abbott came out against the protesters, and called them "hate-filled."        The abortion issue is heating up in the U.S. The Supreme Court on Wednesday heard a closely-watched case over whether Idaho's near-total abortion ban conflicts with a federal law requiring hospitals to provide emergency care. Also on Wednesday, Arizona lawmakers voted to repeal a Civil War-era abortion law that bans nearly all abortions.        The seven World Central Kitchen workers killed in Gaza will be honored this morning at Washington National Cathedral. The workers were killed in an Israeli airstrike April 1st while bringing food aid to people in the war torn Palestinian territory. The dead included one American.        The NFL Draft begins tonight in Detroit. The Chicago Bears open up Round One at 8pm Eastern, and are expected to select USC quarterback Caleb Williams as the first-overall pick. Rounds two and three will be held Friday. and rounds four through seven will be held Saturday.        A castle in Tennessee featured in Taylor Swift's music video for "Love Story" will soon be open for weddings and honeymoons. Castle Gwynn is located about 40 minutes from Nashville. Its owners say plans are still in the works but once complete, the wedding venue will have a ballroom and dining hall. The owners hope to have it ready by the end of the year.
