Five weeks later, the \u201cBoom Box Parade\u201d concept was born, as WILI plays the marching band music on the air, while thousands march and watch, loudly playing their radios (boom boxes).<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4551\" alt=\"2013 Boom Box Parade\" src=\"http:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/2013-Boom-Box-Parade-300x225.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/2013-Boom-Box-Parade-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/2013-Boom-Box-Parade-400x300.png 400w, https:\/\/www.asm-aetna.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/2013-Boom-Box-Parade.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"left\">Anyone can march or enter a float in \u201cConnecticut\u2019s Unique People\u2019s Parade.\u201d The only requirement is to wear some red, white, and blue, and bring a radio tuned to WILI (1400-AM).
