Originally Posted By FerretAfros "^^Does it say that on the drum? Just curious as I haven't seen a video of the parade" It said "Disney's Electrical Parade" on the drum while it ran in DCA. There were two sets of lights, so that it flashed between that, and "Presented by Sylvania". I think that Sylvania became a part of the parade around the time that Siemens took over SSE, so I'm not sure what (if anything) it said before they began to sponsor it. It may have just said DEP and not switched back and forth.

I just hope the lights along the route actually dim when they are supposed too (DCA's street lights wern't working right during the parade's final weeks in California
