Pride on Parade (1979)

[Music] if there's one place in the world where it's fun to be part of the crowd it's at a parade maybe that's why everybody loves a I like to see the families having fun brings back a lot of good memories it just makes me feel happy I guess it looks like everyone's enjoying what they're doing that's what it's really all about [Music] of course it wouldn't be a parade without a band to listen to or a hot dog to eat that's what a parade is hot dogs and music excitement and anticipation it's the fun of waiting for a band to come marching by seeing the talents and skills the discipline and pride that come together into one grand and thrilling impression called music [Music] a Bandon parade is a finished product created by many individual talents all working together to make the sounds we like to hear the tastes we enjoy the things we like to eat these two are a combination of special ingredients brought together by people of skill and talent let's go see why in music or in food these qualities of excellence lead to success the hot dogs we enjoy eating at a parade begin way out here in places such as this all over America meat processors like Oscar Meyer come to buy pork and beef Fresh Off The Farm turning natural products into good tasting Foods just like turning notes into music requires people who have special skills and talents and enjoy being the best at what they do all right Stars and Stripes Forever starting at the Grand ELO portion here we go one two ready now the final product is important in all of our minds but we have a great time in rehearsing and there is a good rapport between director and members of the group yet the primary thing of course is that work now and play later and we all have a great time at it when I saw it I said this is a band that I want to be in and I never even dreamed that I was going to be in this band I had to wait 4 years to join the band so I was really happy it's just real fun it's nice because we work hard a lot of practice work there re in uh Eric I want you to watch those Dynamics there the accents are just just not there I'm waiting for them this time Eric be with us here we go one two ready now [Music] our sound has to be the right way in tune and everything and we have to have all our notes it's hard thing to do get as much practice as you can to be good at it the skills it takes to make a band a success are also the skills it takes to make good meat products Pride experience teamwork the meat processor's art has its own disciplines as rigid as those of the musician when I came in they had someone that was already trained on the machine that I run and uh I worked with him it's kind of a complicated machine it's got a lot of buttons and switches I had a lot of experience with bacon we had be able to judge what was good and what was not good third trumpets what's going on over there mush all I hear is much no intonation no Dynamics what's going on let's get it together one two ready now teamwork is vital to the success of an organization such as a marching or concert band we have the various elements of the organization that must be working as a team to provide one unified Mass performance there's a lot of individuals they soloist but they all just mesh together and it's really a group effort that makes this F so great so you have to sound good and know make it sound the best the people are nice and you have to be to make to work we have a little sing obst our band sticks together everybody takes care of everybody else you if like one person gets in trouble everybody helps them everybody just jumped right in took care of my family my dog and the cat it's a lot of friendship all the uh people in your section come over shake your hand and welcome you to the band everyone's friendly it's just a great plant to work for it's one unit the flag girls the group all the sections within the band management the staff members everything they push for this one band people who work together know the value of teamwork in the meat processor art individual talents work together to make the things we like to eat the boning of fresh meat is still done by skilled hands a tradition that goes back hundreds of years carefully trimmed sides of fresh pork are still cured and smoked in special rooms where time and temperature turn them into bacon scientific food processing techniques and specially trained people control the temperature moisture protein and overall quality of every item the modern processing plant makes from pork sausage to lunch and meats and it's all done under the eyes of federal inspectors here just as with the band individual skills and teamwork by all the performers are the measures of excellent [Music] we have quality assurance throughout the entire plant those quality checks are against certain high standards that our management and our sales department and our marketing department for the most part have set they know and they have their thumb on the pulse of the consumer we know the quality levels that the consumer [Music] wants it's more fun to eat something when you know that what you're eating is good for you every slice of lunch and meat you pick up is a slice of good nutrition now a lot of people don't know this but a hot dog has as much protein as an egg and 4 oz of ham has only about half as many calories as a/4 pound of hamburger so when you take quality lunch in meats and make yourself a sandwich you're making something that has the nutrition you need and the taste you like to make things that are good to eat you need spices to give them distinction the spices we taste like the spices we hear have to blend together they must complement the other ingredients that are used us the other instruments that are played and together they must create a Harmony of taste or [Music] sound whether it's food or music how good something is depends a lot on how things come together in the case of a band the quality of Excellence is knowing that all the parts each instrument each member knows what to do and when to do it we're going to have to repeat that last section again a a little bit more work on that about hey about hey all right hey and when each move is made the way it should be the result is perfection you step up on whistles and when hot dogs are made to Perfection they're made in a special place called hot dog Highway that makes thousands of them every hour because people like their hot dogs in all different sizes and shapes meat processors make regular ones long ones short ones plump ones skinny ones little ones and big [Music] ones and all along the line there's Perfection at every [Music] turn research people are constantly improving processing and packaging techniques everything is checked individually and no package leaves the plant without someone's personal stamp of [Music] approval being the best making Excellence a way of life means having pride pride in how you look and how well you do your job for a band it's wearing a uniform it's how the band looks sounds when it takes to the field when I'm in the uniform I feel like I've got to set an example and I also have to show Pride that I'm proud of this uniform that I'm wearing a band will be judged by its overall effect success depends on how well the band can execute the sounds and movements of its art the same kind of teamwork is found wherever pride and Excellence are a way of life the package of food product wees is as important to its success as the uniform is to the band success [Music] n [Music] by the time we're out on the street we're so high as it is that uh we just can't be [Music] stopped individual skills discipline Pride teamwork these are the qualities of of Excellence the mark of success they are also the ingredients that make a band sound so exciting and a hot dog tastes so good [Music] w
