Watch: Musical Moments Highlight Napa Christmas Parade

The 2012 Napa Christmas Parade made many a joyful noise as it rolled, marched, twirled, trotted and hooped its way through town. Here's a musical highlight reel from Saturday night's extravaganza.

"Do You Hear What I Hear" was the theme for this year's Napa Christmas Parade, and thousands of onlookers heard plenty during the almost-90-minute lighted procession.

Live rock bands — including Napa's premier surf trio The Deadlies, performing on a Hawaiian-themed float — folk musicians from the Napa Youth organization and the entire Vintage High School marching band were among the parade entries serenading the crowds with holiday songs. You can hear some of their music in this video.
