[QUOTE="skyhightree1, post: 1081798, member: 13268"] My county did this [url=http://progress-index.com/news/state-champion-generals-as-big-a-draw-as-santa-in-dinwiddie-christmas-parade-1.1601750]http://progress-index.com/news/state-ch ... -1.1601750[/url] DINWIDDIE - A day after the Dinwiddie Generals clinched the VHSL Class 4A championship trophy, it was time for the community to meet the newly minted state champions at the annual Dinwiddie Christmas Parade. All that Dionca Coles and her family needed was the sound of the marching band's drums. And then the cheers erupted. "Here they come, here they come!" Coles said. From the drums to the first glint of the truck carrying the team to the actual passing of the state champions, the groundswell of cheers grew. "My cousin is the offensive coach. I'm excited to see the Generals," Coles said, pointing out her Generals jersey. The sight of the marching band heralded a wave of cheers all the way to the government complex, about a half-mile away. A group of players jumped down from the truck bed to hug or high-five friends and family. A loud roar broke out when several players clutched the trophy and pumped it for the crowd. Natonya Williams, a teacher at Dinwiddie Middle School, was waiting for six of her former students to pass by on the Generals float. "I have current and past students in the parade. I'm just so excited to see them," Williams said. A wide smile broke out across Michael Trisvan's face as the football team passed. The 2007 graduate of Dinwiddie High School had seen the game the night before, and came to the parade specifically to see the Generals again. The parade had originally been scheduled for Saturday, but the county Chamber of Commerce pushed it back as the Generals headed toward the state championship. While she was excited to see the football team, Shanel Pope, 12, was also excited to see the Head Start float her mother was riding on. Coles also had two cousins on the Head Start float, and many friends on others. The parade, she said, was another chance to see people she knew. Over 40 various organizations rode on floats or in cars from the Dinwiddie High School area down Courthouse Road to the government complex. "My favorite part is when everybody comes out together and sees the parade," Pope said. The Generals gave Santa Claus, who rode on a fire engine not far behind the football team, some competition for cheers. But many stayed for St. Nick, who punctuated the parade. [/QUOTE]
