Although the parade lineup had the band in middle, behind the dreaded ice cream truck, due to a very spread out parade we were able to get in earlier to avoid the hour and 15 minute wait we would have had to wait for our original position.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, it was a great parade and everyone had a great time and many compliments were received on the walk back to 8th street. After the walk back,\u00a0 the band enjoyed lunch at the Great Falls Masonic Temple.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_98\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gfpipeband.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pic4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-98\" title=\"Stepping off for the July 4th Parade in Great Falls, 2009\" src=\"http:\/\/gfpipeband.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pic4-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Pipe Major Bill Vischer calls &quot;Forward, March&quot; to start the band\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gfpipeband.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pic4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gfpipeband.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pic4.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-98\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The band steps off to start the march down Central Ave during the 4th of July Parade.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_99\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gfpipeband.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pic2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-99\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-99\" title=\"Pipers, July 4th Parade, 2009\" src=\"http:\/\/gfpipeband.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pic2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"The pipers in the July 4th Parade.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gfpipeband.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pic2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gfpipeband.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pic2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-99\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The pipers in the July 4th Parade.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_100\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gfpipeband.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pic1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-100\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-100\" title=\"The drummers, July 4th Parade, 2009\" src=\"http:\/\/gfpipeband.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pic1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"The drumming section of the band.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gfpipeband.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pic1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gfpipeband.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pic1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-100\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The drummers in the July 4th Parade.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The band enjoyed the great weather on the morning of the 4th while marching from 8th Street to the Civic Center.
