| Description |
Police Scotland (Northern Constabulary as was) Traffic Warden leads the next contingent of the parade through High Street. The force may not exist any longer (Northern Constabulary became part of Police Service of Scotland on 1st April 2013) but the Northern Constabulary Community Pipe Band lives on – despite quite a turnover in playing personnel over the past year or so! Our first duty of the 2013 Summer (??) season was to lead off the parade at the Inverness Classic Vehicle Show on Saturday 11th May 2013. Organised by Inverness BID (Business Improvement District) the event involves a variety of classic vehicles (cars, vans, trucks, motorcycles etc) on display at various points throughout the City Centre during the morning and early afternoon - before coming together for a final parade through the heart of the City. The Band's purpose is to play for a short period outside Eastgate Centre to attract the public, and then to play through Eastgate and High Street, alongside the start of the (then static) partly-formed up parade. On reaching the Town Hall end of High Street the Band then forms a guard of honour, playing all the while, through which the parade passes en route around the City. When the entire parade has passed through, the Band then plays back to Eastgate to dismiss. The weather over the last couple of days has ranged from warm sunshine to heavy rain bursts and back again in quick succession, so we were expecting at least one downpour in the hour of our involvement. Thankfully though the rain stayed away and the Band, and parade, and city Centre could be seen to best advantage in the sunshine. Judging by the crowds which thronged Eastgate and High Street, the event was successful, and the crowd's warm applause at the Band's performance was truly music to our ears. As Mark Twain almost said "The rumours of the Band's demise have been greatly exaggerated". |
