There was a brief delay to the parade's start time after Cary officials said a member of one of the high school bands participating suffered a "fainting spell."
"The young lady was treated by EMS on-scene. The parade start time was delayed to allow EMS to treat her and locate her parents," said the Town of Cary in a statement to WRAL News. "She is reportedly doing well and was released to her parents."
