Palm Tree Santas Drill Team

[Santa Bob Elkin]

The Palm Tree Santas Drill Team will be marching in our first Fourth of July Parade in Safety Harbor Florida. Santas Drill Team will also perform our choreographed "Fourth of July Patriotic Salute" following the parade at the John Wilson Park in downtown Safety Harbor. (all on Monday the 4th)

Santas Drill Team was invited to participate in four different Fourth of July Parades, including the oldest July 4th Parade in the nation, in Mike Rielly's backyard, Bristol, Rhode Island. Unfortunately, we were unable to accept their invitation this year, hopefully they will invite us back and we can accept.

We consider all of these invitations as an honor and we are committed to spread our message of Pride Honor Courage as we march to honor those who serve and all who have served our Country. We will continue to strive to represent all of our Santa brothers in honorable presentations wherever we may travel. If you take a look at our website: www.ptsantasdrillteam.com and click on our Schedule, you will see we have traveled a great deal and performed in many places since our "debut" in March, 2010 in Gatlinburg.

For those folks who have only heard or seen video of Santas Drill Team, some of our possible Santa events coming up in 2012........

FORBS Reunion Luncheon has invited Santas Drill Team to perform in San Diego in January, we are hoping to go, if we can possibly get some expenses covered in some way.

Red Suit RoundTable in Atlanta next February has invited Santas Drill Team for an encore performance, we are planning to attend.

Jim Yellig Santa Claus Workshop, Santa Claus Indiana, April 2012 Our Drill Team leader, Santa Dennis Pollard is already working on some new special programs and surprises which we will be planning to unveil next April!!

We are working with Santa Jack Arthur, National Director Military Support Programs for Santa America on performing on various Military Bases as may be arranged and appropriate.

The Palm Tree Santas Drill Team is "self" funded, meaning we pay out of our pockets for supplies, uniforms, travel, lodging, giveaways and all the necessary expenses. This does limit our ability to travel for specific events. However if you have or know of an event you would like to invite the Drill Team to attend, please contact me to discuss possible options.

Santa Bob,

Too bad you cannot make the Bristol, RI 4th of July parade. I will be in the parade on the "Polar Express" float with marching Chefs and children and adults in their pajamas either walking or on the float. I will be wearing patriotic clothing and the float will have my Santa chair on it and be decorated patriotically. It would have been fun to meet you again as well as the rest of the drill team! Maybe next year.
