They Might Be Giants, "The End of the Tour" from John Henry (The Last Angry Sir Knight)
Commentary: Today is the last day on which Fourth Degree Full Regalia can be worn by Knights of Columbus. The New Uniform, introduced two years ago, in August 2017, will be the only authorized uniform for Color Corps use after the expiration of the "grandfather" period for the Full Regalia. The members of my assembly are unanimous in choosing not to transition to the New Uniform; instead, we are simply retiring the Assembly's Color Corps. This is a sad day, but we are going out proudly, with a corporate communion for Council 6742 at Holy Family Parish in Grand Blanc.
Above, the Color Corps of Fourth Degree Assembly 0510 at a flag retirement ceremony on Flag Day, 14 June 2019. (Your humble narrator is second from the end of the line, obscured by the Stars & Stripes.) Below, members of that selfsame Color Corps at a Forty Days for Life prayer vigil in 2016.
