    I thought I recognized the Denver and District band, even without the caption.

    Glad that you got to go.

    Great BIG pictures. I enjoyed them. Thanks for posting.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Nice pics! I noticed the center piper in the Denver and District had a different kilt. A substitute maybe?

    It is a merger of two different bands. Not all have converted to the new tartan.

    I noticed in two of the band pictures, Wasatch District and Desert Skye, that the man on the far left in the first row is backwards to the rest of his unit. Why? I have not noticed this before in any of the bands I have watched.

    My only thought is that this was a very very short procession. Maybe 100 yards max. Where I was standing to take the pictures was where all the bands stopped and disbanded to make room for the next band. My guess would be that they were giving orders to halt....but I thought the drum majors did that... There were also lots of judges with clipboards standing along the line of march so maybe they were making sure the band members were properly dressed (in the line of march sense of dressed).
