This video is but a small taste of being at the parade. We took many videos but this one is the clearest.
New York's finest was there to make certain all went as planned and all were safe. Here are the handsome mounted policemen.
One of the many smartly dressed drum majors. I chose this one to publish because he reminds me of a PC volunteer in Thailand that we both thought a lot of - David.
The very first band was from the U.S. Naval Academy. They were a handsome group and their music was the best! But where were the West Pointers?
Many family names were represented in the parade.
This one said McFarlane, I think.
A large crowd turned out to watch and take photos. Not all of us were Scottish though.
Lochgelly. Hmmm. Is that the name of a region in Scotland maybe? They do look smart in their uniforms and the music was great too.
This group came in from New Jersey. A number of the pipe and drums represent police/fire departments.
Of course the day would not be complete without representation from NYU so here it is.
The Daughters of Scotland - but they are from New Jersey! What a great country. We are all Americans but we can still identify with the roots of our forefathers if we wish.
What is a Tartan Day parade without some Scottie dogs. This one is proudly wearing the tartan colors of his/her family.
Anther group in from New Jersey.
Not all of the Scottie dogs were sporting a coat but this one certainly was memorable.
A group of Scotts from Cajun country? In the U.S. almost anything is possible.
Duchess County is not quite as far away as the Gulf Coast but the marching was just as smart.
This Scottie didn't want to show any partiality so he is just wearing the Scottish flag.
