The Mummer String Band competition was held at Lincoln Financial Field today. It was not something Philadelphians want to do. They want to see the string bands in the parade. Bad weather canceled the performance portion of the string bands. That was rescheduled for today.
The weather was poor, only a small section of the stadium was filled with people and admission was charged. It would have been much better if this was held in the convention center or and indoor arena.
The results are in and they are as follows.
1 Quaker City
2 South Philly
3 Fralinger
4 Uptown
5 Aqua
6 Greater Kensington
7 Woodland
8Polish American
9 Durning
10 Duffy
