Wordless Wednesday

Posted in Wordless Wednesdays

Here is an amateur video of the Phoenix Pipe Band from their parade appearance this past Saturday, July 5th.  It commemorates their 50th anniversary as a band, and their 50th anniversary in the Prescott 4th of July Rodeo Days Parade.  Piper is in the second row, second in from the left.  Enjoy!

HT to sonoranstamper for giving me the idea.  Thank you, my friend!   If you would like to participate in Wordless Wednesdays, please go visit our gracious hostess, Tiany.
