Best performance by far on the street this year! If they don't take first, they were robbed. Phenomenal job South Philly! Best of luck!!

My first year away from Philly since 1985, and I picked THIS year to move away?!?! South Philly, that was amazing, astounding!

[@christinemellocellist773]

I was up the street from the judges box when SP got done and I literally GASPED at the costumes - I knew right then and there they were gonna take it. Incredible!

[@benjaminwilson4558]

Awwwsome Performances and those costumes were ELECTRIC!! My vote for Best in Originality,Costumes and Overall Show!!!👌☝

[@user-nf5hs6jb9j]

Absolutely took our breath away watching in Cocoa Beach, FL. It was my #1 FAVORITE before they even announced it as the winner.
We don't see many traditional christmas/holiday mummer themes very often.
Hope to be back to see next year's in person again. :)

I'm 52, and been watching the String Bands all my life. This was outstanding. So much going on here.
We're so lucky to have the Mummers here in Philadelphia, and this was the best of some really great bands. Maybe one of the best performances I've seen through the decades.

[@marecolgan4858]

I’m still standing and clapping!!! It’s 9:30 PM! Wonderful!!!!

[@eleanorparks5055]

Lots of variety to look. Guys in gold captured me. The band is kickin' it! 😅

[@theirishhammer9108]

I thought this one would win and sure enough. I loved the opening look especially starting at 0.13 And the Gold ornaments were outstanding. All the customs were the best I've ever seen.

[@robertdebrus3732]

I live down the street from the Polish American String Band on New Year's Day they are hammered LOL

[@JonathanLit]

Fantastic job by this group! Makes me proud to be from Philly. I still think the Mario one should have won though

[@lanabess3673]

Браво! Сколько фантазии, труда чтобы изготовить костюмы, поставить танцевальные номера.... Браво!!!

[@its.just.connie_3]

❤❤❤❤

[@JerseyDevil856]

Kevin!

[@sandysorlien6688]

Our favorites streaming from RI. Congrats! But the streaming quality is horrible and was yesterday too - any better versions out there?

[@DFord-rv3nz]

Bizarre

[@lynnbrown6485]

Awesome performance. No wonder you were the winner. How do I get involved for next year?

[@ButchBuchanico]

Reach out to any of the groups or bands. They always need help to pull off these performances

[@lorettawatkins5024]

Sorry, i miss the days before thebands had to put on broadway shows in the street. Give me the marching bands any day.

Why is video quality so bad?

[@smtrop]

This was NOT a first place performance. The whole ranking system boiled down to who spent the most money, and they imported shit from Poland. The whole thing is pay to win now

[@justingraser7031]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@frankmorton1626]

Where's the Philly captain??
