On June 27, at 11:30 a.m., the Divine Land Marching Band marched through the main stage of the Montville Independence Day Parade as the MC gave the above introduction.

Mr. Marocco is a 40-year resident of Montville, and he said: "I was a member of a marching band and I just love the Divine Land Marching Band. Their performance is wonderful and they help me learn about Falun Gong. I am very glad to know that they believe in 'Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance'."

A Falun Gong practitioner said that this was the fifth time practitioners have participated in this parade and the second time for the Divine Land Marching Band.

Reportedly, with local practitioners' persistent truth-clarification, the Montville government and local residents know Falun Gong quite well. To facilitate the practitioners' weekly group study, the Senior Center hosts the practitioners regularly for free.
