4th of July Parade in Black Eagle 

Posted on by

The Great Falls Shrine Pipe Band will be participating in the Black Eagle 4th of July parade this year.
The band will be meeting at 10:00am at the Black Eagle Country Club, at the corner of 12th St and Smelter Ave in Black Eagle.

The uniform for the day will be spats, diced hose, kilt, horse hair sporran, belt, white shirt and Glen Garry. If you don’t happen to have something, wear what you have.

The parade goes east down Smelter Ave to the Black Eagle Community Center, so it should be a fun time!

We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Due to a conflict with another event occurring at the Scottish Rite this coming Thursday, we will not be holding practice.

As a reminder, this coming Friday and Saturday are the Shrine Circus at the Four Seasons Arena. This is the band’s major fund raiser for the year, and all Shrine members need to attend. Any associate members who would like to help are welcome as well, and your assistance would be much appreciated. There are five shows spread out over the two days at the following times:

Friday, April 14th at 4 & 7:30 PM
Saturday, April 15th at 11 AM, 3 & 7 PM

Please arrive at least 90 minutes prior to the show start time.

If anyone has any questions, please let me know.
