Is that for people in the parade? Or forced to watch it in person?
They advertised for seat fillers, so a lot of those people were literally paid to be there.
IF that’s the same thing I’m thinking of, that was a satire piece. BUT it’s possible there was something else I didn’t see after that.

Is that a WW2 tank?
Yes. The thing was to showcase 250 years of American Army, not modern shit.
I would have loved it for historical interest if anyone else was President :(

Apparently they had to rent them from movie prop houses.
Not sure I believe that number. But hell, I can't estimate crowds to save my life. At one point I was in the largest rock concert of all time, still have no clue.
All I can say is the one I went to easily had 2,000. And that's in the reddest part of Florida, and only 1 of 2 protests in Pensacola.

So 8 highschools. That's pretty good. A well known Mexican Pueblo doesn't even match that by at least 5 or 6 more people for Sunday church.

My highschool was more than 2000 people. And it was so new that our first semester was on two different campuses and they were still building int around us for another two years when we did move in.
Now I live in a very different area. The localist mega church gets 17,000+ butts in seats each week.
8500 people is less than normal tourism on a Saturday for DC. It was actually a net negative for attendance over just a normal day.
Four public high schools in my city and their combined attendance is over 9000
