Always a good time at the Burnt Hills Flag Day Parade.

As we round out our final 2 parades of this Memorial Day parade season, Watervliet was our first stop — with the band even having their picture taken by the mayor! We were also fortunate enough to avoid the rain.
Then it was off to North Greenbush where the kids were able to unwind on the playground before stepping off for the next parade… just as the sun finally came out.

Parade #2 of 4 was last night in Stillwater! ☀️
The sun was shining, the temperature was just right, and the crowd loved hearing the tunes. Another great night filled with music, smiles, and community spirit! 🎶🍀

A devastating fire has impacted one of our own and his family, leaving them facing an incredibly difficult road ahead. In a moment like this, we do what we’ve always done—we come together.
If you’re able, please consider donating to their GoFundMe to help them recover and rebuild. If you can’t donate, sharing this post would mean just as much.
Let’s show them the strength and support of this community—they are not alone. ❤️

Gaelic Storm and Capital District Youth Pipe Band playing Mingulay Boat Song

03/23/2026

What an unforgettable night for the Capital District Youth Pipe Band! 🎶
We had the incredible honor of opening for Gaelic Storm at Troy Savings Bank Music Hall this past Saturday—and the night didn’t end there. We were invited back on stage to accompany the band for Mingulay Boat Song!
Sharing the stage for such a powerful piece was truly special, and an experience we’ll never forget. Huge thanks to Gaelic Storm for the opportunity and to everyone who came out to support us!
