Fort Benton Summer Celebration Parade a Blast!

The parade in Fort Benton was held in beautiful weather and a great time was had by all who attended.

The band was able to field 8 pipers, two snares and a bass drummer.

After completing the parade r0ute, and giving a special performance for the retirement home parade spectators, the band made its traditional appearance at the Palace Bar.  After playing a few tunes and being rewarded with a drink on the house, the band members ate and then packed up to return to Great Falls.
