those were organized crowd watching from the street. if u didnt notice in the 1999 parade video, they held big coloured boards/flowers over their head and flip them once in a while.
True , but one also saw groups of individuals/ relatives of participants, I was watching one women who must have been cheering for a relative when the girls in red came on, the camera focused on her than panned to the marching girls, of which on looks , one could have been a relative.

that 1 song is the parade music and it will be used again, yes that's the only one. u can even hear it in cctv videos when they are interviewing in the parade village
OMG

olympics had 4 (i think it was 4) different bands from different continents to play different music, it wasn't all bagpipe.
True, but bagpipes man they sound like scalded cats
Because England is hosting the next games they should have Used Morris Dancers instead. Now thats truly rep. of English culture.
