St Patrick's Day parade in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania


Jim Thorpe, a lovely little town nestled in a mountain valley in Eastern Pennsylvania, holds a huge parade each year on the Sunday closest to St. Patrick's Day. The Hawk Mountain Highlanders, my bagpipe band, has participated for all of the last eight years. This was the warmest and most pleasant day we have yet had.
Front rank includes myself on the right flank, Hutten Moyer, Kyle Roeder Jr., Shawn Woll, Pipe Sergeant. Behind are Sean McCormack, Tyler Walthers, David Weisman, Brain Kahl, Nick McNally, Marina Piccioni. Dave Weidenhammer on bass, Mary Beth Rissinger, Katie Malone and Bryce McNally on tenor and Luke Rissinger on side. Logan Walthers is serving as Drum Major. Tune is the Piobaireachd of Donald Dhu.
