Fanfarenzug-Strausberg lead
This is the lead of Fanfarenzug-Strausberg marching band from Germany. I'm still wandering what it is the guy in the middle is holding. It looks like a baton with a bag attached. Their web site has some info on them, and time in Canada, but it seems to be all in German, as one would expect.

Marchers wore pink for the Breast Cancer Survivors Parade put on in and outside of Banker's Hall in downtown Calgary. Done partly as a fundraiser, but mainly to honor the fight by survivors against cancer, it featured a hundred or so survivors of the disease marching on Stephen Avenue Mall. The event was organized by the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF) and sponsored by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC).
