“This
award is a tremendous honor for Division One”, said Ellis, “The membership works very hard to make sure
we look our best marching up 5th Avenue”.
Division One wasn’t the only Irish organization
from Westchester County to receive marching unit awards. The Police Emerald Society of Westchester (P.E.S.W.) won
1st Place for “Best Emerald
Society Marching Unit”, and Iona College won 1st Place for “Best School Pipe Band”. We extend our congratulations to all of our friends
in both organizations.
This marks the second time in the past three years that Division One has been recognized by the NYC Parade Committee. Division One also placed 2nd in 2011 in the same category. Division One also earned a marching unit award in The 2013 Yonkers St. Patrick's Day Parade, winning the Parade Chairman's Special Award.
