Citrus Parade in Orlando
Friday, 10 November 2006
Where back! Sorry for the posting delay....

Here is the countdown to The Orlando Citrus Parade: 50 days!

The Orlando Citrus Parade organizers has prepared a kids contest where the winner will be allowed to ride the car that will lead the parade on December 30, 2006. Kids ages 5 to 10, that lives in the Central Florida area, will show their abilities to hand draw the Orlando Citrus Parade's Official Mascot.

Also more TV station will join in the Parade Broadcast and it is possible that the Parade will go to Australia. Yes, you read! Down Under! At least the plans are to clear out the Parade broadcast to Australia, Singapore, Canada and The UK.

One more thing.... Would you like to hear the Orlando Citrus Parade from 2005? I thought was impossible, but here is why. When I attended the Parade in 2005, I took some audio of the Parade, from the Marching Bands and the noises from the floats. But I was not sure on how I would upload those, since I would take the whole space from the Tripod Server and then, came the Evoca Web Site!

I just inserted a mic operated box that will allow you to send a message. I may insert another one at the front of the page. So I will need your feed back. Don't send me nasty stuff cause I will ignore it! So here is the open mic!

Remembering Tom Mickle of Florida Citrus Sports
Just a small update, because on recent days, Florida Citrus Sports Executive Director Tom Mickle passed away at the Florida Citrus Sports office, while working on the organization's daily routines involving current projects and upcoming major events like The Capital One Bowl and The 26th Annual Orlando Citrus Parade.

Mickle was 55 at the time of his passing and he was battling some form of cancer, after a surgery was performed, late January 2006. Tom Mickle was supervising the operations of the Florida Citrus Bowl stadium and also was the co-founder of the Bowl Coalition (BCS) system that is used to decide which college football teams are selected to participate in the college bowls during the Holiday season.

Our toughts and condolences goes to his family and also to the people behind the Florida Citrus Sports organization.

Tough I never met Tom Mickle, while volunteering for the Citrus Parade event, I feel proud of his hard work for the Central Florida community. The only thing I found out, was that I did decorated the floats for the Florida Citrus Sports Organization and Tom Mickle was riding those floats with pride! He sure will be missed!

The Citrus Parade Orlando report 1-22-06
Now Playing: Waiting for the bandwith to lower more!
I have not made too much updates, since the end of the 25th Annual Orlando Citrus Parade. But, I'm waiting for the bandwith limits to lower a little bit. Since the last month's parade activity, the whole Citrus Parade in Orlando web site has gained more visitors. As much as 5000 visitors came on December 30th, 2005. The excessive number of visitors, almost shut down the site. I guess I will end up buying more bandwith, so that means that the site will have more space for thousands of visitors to come during the 26th Annual Orlando Citrus Parade, next December 2006.

In the upcoming weeks, there will be more additions to the Citrus Parade in Orlando web site. Also I believe that in February, the organizers of the Parade at Florida Citrus Sports, will be selecting the Marching Bands that will qualify for the 26th Annual Orlando Citrus Parade.

So, to recap, there is more to come, but I have to check on the bandwith space available, before I add more content to the site.

The Citrus Parade Orlando report 1-2-06
Pictures available and some corrections made.

I have made available a link to see all the pictures of the Annual Orlando Citrus Parade. I did provided a link to Yahoo Photos, because there are too many pictures to upload to the server, I decided to link them to the photo album I have at Yahoo.

Otherwise, the Tripod site would be shut down due to overload of the server, since they have a limit on the bandwidth I can use for the pictures. I may buy some bandwidth later, since the site broke the record for most visitors! Over 5,000 visits where recorded the week of the Parade Volunteering and the Parade event.

Usually I don't have time to read the visitors comments, but with the help of Frank, I found out that there was a picture of the Marching Bands, that I did identified as the Auburn University Marching Band, but, it was the Michigan University Marching Band, so I did corrected the mistake.

Another comment was from Paul, regarding the National Broadcast of The Orlando Citrus Parade. I really don't control the parade telecast and you have to address that to Florida Citrus Sports. I don't know if that was a bad waist of advertiser's money, but I do call it a promotional consideration. Those ads are kind of donated to Florida Citrus Sports.
