Tartan Day parade 2009

I'm all hopped-up on pipe band music because.....It's.Tartan.Day.Parade! My favorite-est parade of all the city parades.

What I absolutely love, and look forward to as much as the parade itself, are the impromptu "band duels" that can go on for quite a bit after the parade is over.

Enjoy:

Alan Cumming, the one in the middle in a brown suit, led this year's parade.
