Along with a group of friends, we are helping with preparing a banner for the school and will be assisting the parade. Beforehand, we spent a few evenings creating a banner for St. Georges School Cologne that will be carried by the children from our school during the parade. The parade itself is taking place on Monday 9th November.
For the banner, we decided to include a man on a white horse to represent the story behind the tradition along with the name of our school and the school logo (drawn and coloured by me). This is how it turned out:
On the 9th November, we all gathered at 16:45 to prepare for the parade, which then began at 17:00. We did a three kilometre walk around the local village, wearing bright fluorescent jackets. I was put at the back as the last martial.
Overall, it was a really fun and new experience for me. I have been part of the parade or watching it in previous years, but I have never helped with organisation or the procession itself. Although it took up quite a bit of time, I would definitely consider taking part in a similar event in the future.
