players Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Andy Reid and Nick Bolton about the success of their recent season.

According to an Instagram poll, an estimated 65 East students out of the 152 voters attended the parade, each having a different and unique experience, one of which being sophomore Ted Smith.

“We got to the parade around 7:45 in the morning,” Smith said. “The best part about the parade though was probably being on Fox 4 News and getting to tell the news reporter how our day was and yelling, ‘Go Chiefs!’ into the camera.”
