I was kinda hoping to see the drum(s) in the image. While I recognize the drumsticks (right name = ), I don't think they convey the message of drummers nearly as well. As to the girls, their kinda looking away so we don't get to engage them very much.
That said, some things are beyond our control, so we make the best of what is presented. I think this is one of those kinda shots.

You have good color and clarity here. The girls are engaging to view even if not maximized for that purpose. I think the pure blue sky works well. I wish I could see the drum and the tops of the hats.
As with all unposed photography, we must accept the moment we got not the one we wished for. But that said, anyone with more luck will have the winner.
Thanks for the feedback. The drum turns out to be difficult to get in the shot. It's big, but they're on a kinda float (ok, the bed of a very small truck), and there's almost always a bar in the way or something. I'm finding these events very difficult to photograph since they're always in a very very distracting environment. You can get a good subject, but then the background tends to be distracting. Or you can get a reasonable background, and the subject is compromised.
Here are two more shots which I don't think are quite as good, but maybe give you a better idea of what's going on.
The boys drumming. The boys and girls switch every so often
The girls riding in the truck behind. The girls sure are better at looking cute.
