FIESTA MILITARY AMBASSADORS ÂŽ
Long known by many as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Military City USA,â&#x20AC;? San Antonio has rich military traditions that date all the way back to our cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s origin. With three large military installations, and units from each branch of service in town, it is fitting that the military plays a royal role in FiestaÂŽ, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always that way. or more than 50 years the military was little-involved in the cultural celebration. Things changed in the early 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Reynolds Andricks, the president and founder of The FiestaÂŽ FlambeauÂŽ Association, noticed the lack of military presence throughout the various events celebrated throughout San Antonio. Andricks met with each of the base commanders in San Antonio and established the creation of military royalty for the FlambeauÂŽ Parade. Each military installation voted for one military â&#x20AC;&#x153;Queenâ&#x20AC;? to represent the base during the FlambeauÂŽ Parade. In the late 1980s, the royalty tag shifted to involve a male and female representative from each base and todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual tradition of military ambassadors was born.
Each year the military ambassadors become the face of their branch of military service during FiestaÂŽ. Representing the importance of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military roots, the ambassadors attend numerous events. They are a strong representation of the royalty of San Antonioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest, and longest standing event.
Military Ambassadors and the Military/Civilian Club The Military/Civilian Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s began working with the Military Ambassador program in 1963. The program that is in place today became The Military Ambassadors Program sponsored by The Military/Civilian Club in 1985, making this year the 30th anniversary.
The Military/Civilian Club is proud and honored to escort and care for the Military Ambassadors each year. They enjoy getting all ten distinguished individuals to all of the FiestaÂŽ events that can be packed into 11 days! From early morning to late at night, their team of volunteers provide for the needs of these heroes as they meet the citizens and guests of San Antonio during FiestaÂŽ. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Military Ambassador Program is sponsored by the Military/Civilian Club and coordinated by Army and Air )RUFH 3XEOLF $IIDLUV 2IĂ&#x20AC;FHV HQVXULQJ the greatest exposure of our Military Ambassadors through this community outreach and celebration called FiestaÂŽ!
Throughout the years, the military queens and ambassadors paved the way for a much larger military presence throughout FiestaÂŽ. Military bands play every type of music imaginable, senior leaders meet with business leaders, miliWDU\ Ă RDWV DQG PDUFKLQJ XQLWV ZDON WKH nearly three-mile parade routes. Any time a man or woman in uniform arrives at an event throughout FiestaÂŽ it was likely made possible because of the origins of the modern day ambassadors.

OFFICIAL FIESTA EVENTS CELEBRATING COMMEMORATIVE DATES IN 2015 ®
Fiesta® has taken place for more than century, we congratulate those who celebrate commemorative dates this year Pilgrimage to the Alamo 7KH ÀUVW 3LOJULPDJH WR WKH $ODPR FDPH about during WW I in 1918 when the Battle of Flowers® Parade was cancelled due to the War. A new tradition began that year, a solemn Pilgrimage to honor the heroes of the Alamo. In those days, the Pilgrimage was held at twilight. Newspaper reports more than 5,000 participants, led by area military commands, walking from Municipal AuGLWRULXP WR WKH $ODPR WR SUHVHQW ÁRUDO offerings — gravely, ceremoniously — before the Texas shrine. It was founded by Col. Ralph Durkee, President of the Fiesta® San Jacinto Association (later to become the Fiesta® San Antonio Commission). ) The bound,,
11” x 18” elaborate invitations were hand delivered, featuring original paintings depicting the events of the Battle and biographies of Alamo Heroes such as Travis, Bowie, Crockett, Dr. Pollard and Deaf Smith.
April 20 • 4 pm Alamo Plaza Alamo Mission Chapter, Daughters of the Republic of Texas, began participating in the Pilgrimage in 1925 and later assumed full responsibility of the event that has been held every year since inception.

Fiesta® Cornyation
Cornyation can be traced back to as early as 1951. It was originally staged by SALT (San Antonio Little Theater) at the Arneson River Theater as part of A Night in Old San Antonio®. The show’s irreverent pokes at politicians, the prominent and the not-so-prominent, caused its demise as part of NIOSA® in 1964. It was moved and performed once more in 1965. The show was revived in 1979 for one year as part of NIOSA® and then in 1982, Bob Jolly and Ray Chavez revived the current version which has remained uninterrupted since!

124 YEARS OF FIESTA SAN ANTONIO 速
By 1890, San Antonio, Texas, was a thriving trade center with a population of 38,000. In 1891 a group of citizens decided to honor the heroes of the Alamo and Battle of San Jacinto with a Battle of Flowers速.

The Battle of Flowers® was an immediate success. Within a few years, more events were taking place on or near April 21—a carnival, balls and coronations of “royalty.” The Fiesta® tradition had been born. Other early events included street dancing, children’s fetes, a Trades Display Parade and an orphan’s party. Fiesta® has taken place every year except for 1918 during World War I and 1942 through 1945, during World War II. In 1909 John Carrington founded the Order of the Alamo, one of the oldest Fiesta® organizations. The members meet once a year to choose the next year’s queen and her court. The queen’s court includes a princess, 12 in-town duchesses and 12 out-of-town duchesses. This royalty is featured in the major Fiesta® parades. In 1925, The Daughters of the Republic of Texas began the Pilgrimage to the Alamo. The pilgrimage is a memorial tribute to the Alamo heroes and the heritage of Texas. A solemn, wreathbearing procession of historic, civic, patriotic, military and school groups walks silently to the Alamo. At the same time, an announcer intones the names of the Alamo defenders from within the Alamo walls. The ceremony concludes with a brief memorial service.

During the early years, Fiesta® royalty included King Cotton, King Selamat (tamales spelled backwards) and King Omala (Alamo spelled backwards).

FiestaÂŽ has grown over the years to a citywide celebration boasting more than 100 events that feature music, food, sports, pageantry, military and patriotic observances, exhibits, parades and nine RIĂ&#x20AC;FLDO )LHVWDÂŽ Royalty, all sponsored by QRQSURĂ&#x20AC;WV

The emergence of two FiestaÂŽ kings built a bridge between both of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major cultures. Both kings visit hospitals, schools and nursing homes in addition to making their appearance at FiestaÂŽ events.
In 1959, the FiestaÂŽ San Antonio Commission was formed as an indepenGHQW QRQSURĂ&#x20AC;W RUJDQL]DWLRQ ZRUNLQJ year-round to manage the thousands of details and day-to-day tasks essential to planning and executing the huge citywide celebration.

Today, FiestaÂŽ draws 3.5 million visitors, is a top 10 event in the United States, a top three event in Texas and the largest event in San Antonio. In 2016 FiestaÂŽ San Antonio will celebrate its milestone 125th anniversary.
The Fiesta FlambeauÂŽ Parade began in 1948. The paradeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name comes from the French word for a candlestick or torch.
