SAN ANTONIO — (KTSA News) — A team from Texas will take part in some pomp and circumstance before taking the field in the Little League World Series.

Members of Boerne Little League are in Williamsport, Pennsylvania for their first appearance in the tournament that pits the best Little League teams from around the world against each other.

But before they play ball, the Boerne team will march in the 18th Annual Grand Slam Parade and Festival. It steps off Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. Central Time. You can watch the parade at this link.

Boerne advanced to the LLWS after defeating Louisiana 6-3 last week.
