The festivities will include the Little League parade, performances by the Needham High School band and dance team, ceremonial first pitches thrown out by members of the Needham High School varsity baseball team, a speech by Senator Scott Brown, and of course the Opening Day game (Majors, not Single-A--our games start the next day).
