    Very cool!
    I really like the uniforms. Different for a pipe band.

    It probably stems from our "relaxed" culture here in Fairbanks. We are way way casual about most things....it fits.

    Very cool. I had a little shiver when I read the first line. I played cymbals when I was 5 (same parade 40 years ago) in the Golden Nugget marching band. All I remember were the red Mississippi string ties. I still have mine somewhere.
    Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come. --William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
