City of Perth Salute

The Parade started at 1200hrs from South Inch to North Inch along Tay St.

With Perth and District Pipe Band leading the way

We had a large band out of 24 Pipers, 8 sides and 6 Tenors.

It was a good chance to get the youngsters out and the members of the development band 

once at the North Inch it was a quick brief for the Pipey as to what was happening and a quick tune up and we were on as the first act.

We then provided the solo for Amazing Grace and the massed Pipe Band at the finale

A great day and the rain stayed off !!!!

A big thank you to the Lord Lieutenant for organising this event as it allowed youngsters from all over the county to get involved.
