PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
This YouTube video short shows Kamala Harris probably spontaneously marching at an indoor event along side of young Black girls who are members of a drill and drum corps. 

Some commenters in the discussion thread for this YouTube video short mistakenly think that this event just occurred. However, the exact same video was published on YouTube in November 7, 2020 by Oneindia News. Here's a link to that video entitled "Kamala Harris dances with the kids": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wdhyrFthZ0. 

The November 7, 2020 date indicates when that video was published on YouTube. It doesn't indicate when that event was videotaped. It's very possible that that event occurred before Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the United States national election on November 5, 2020.

The summary for that YouTube video  still refers to Kamala Harris as the "US Democrat Vice Presidential candidate.", but that summary reads as though it was written after the Democrats won that election. Here's the complete summary of that 2020 OneindiaNews video:
"A video shared by Priyanka Chaturvedi on Twitter shows US Democrat Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris dancing with small girls. Priyanka wrote in the Caption, 'This. It took 243 years to break the glass ceiling. Daughter of immigrants. A tough American woman. More power to you! You deserve every moment of this joyful dance! A very happy moment for women fighting for their place under the sun @KamalaHarris".end of quote

Fortunately, a commenter in the discussion thread for the YouTube video short identified the drill and drum corps as the Isiserettes Drill and Drum team from Des Moines, Iowa. That information is given as comment #1 immediately below. However, I still don't know when that event occurred. If you know that information, please share it in the comment section for this post. Thanks!

These comments are presented in relative chronological order with the earliest comments given first except for replies. All of these comments were published after July 21, 2024 to August 14, 2024.

I added numbers for referencing purposes only.

As is the case with all selected comment sections in pancocojams posts, I'm interested in not only documenting what was said, but how it was said. In this post I'm particularly interested in documenting examples of the use of African American Vernacular English words, phrases, and sayings such as "(You) go girl!".

WARNING
As of August 14, 2024, when I began reading this video short's discussion thread, there were over 8,400 comments. Unfortunately, that discussion thread has been heavily polluted with a lot of anti-Kamala Harris/pro-Trump comments. A number of those comments are racist and otherwise toxic.

I didn't include any examples of anti-Kamala Harris or pro-Trump comments in this compilation.

"That’s the Isiserettes Drill and Drum team from Des Moines, Iowa" -snip- Click https://isiserettes.org/ for the Isiserettes Drill And Drum Corp's website. That website indicates that "The Isiserettes are composed of both males and females ranging from the ages 7 to 18 years old." [end of quote]. That website also notes that "The Isiserettes were part of President Barack Obama's Inaugural parade'. That note didn't indicate which Obama inauguration they were referring to.
