The Emerald Pipe Band marches up the Parkway.
We stumbled upon the New York Police Department Pipe Band as the pipers were warming up on JFK Boulevard, before the Philadelphia St. Patrick’s Day parade had started. They were making such a great noise, we just had to snag some video.
And that was just the beginning.
As the parade marched on, we found lots more reasons to haul out the videocam. For example, that Cloughaneely Marching Band from Donegal was pretty darn cute and irresistable. The Philadelphia Emerald Pipe Band looked so sharp in green tunics and saffron kilts. And dancers … hey, we just had to squeeze off a few frames of dancers. And what’s a parade in Philadelphia without a couple of blocks worth of music from a string band?
Relive the day with our video memories:
