David and I teach first year students. This is them marching. They have this olden day tradition, back long ago when students wanted to go to school they would pay a teacher and ask if they could attend. If they didn't have money they would pay with food. So symbolically the new students march the first student in line carries a red and gold tray with food on it they march to the principal and give him the tray. The principal then gives the teacher a flag saying that the students are now in their care.
