What interests me after the parade kicks off, is to find interactions between the spectators and the marchers. Some peope were wise enough to watch the parade out of the cold and wind. But many others were out there for it.

Before the Parade

 

New Haven, Connecticut

The largest free single day spectator event in the state of Connecticut is the New Haven St. Patrick's Day Parade. This year it was held a week early, on March 10. I've always found the activites at the assembly area of a parade a better place to find interesting pictures than the march itself. Here are some pictures made before the 1:30 PM step-off of the parade on a chilly and windy March day.

Click on any picture to see them all at a much larger and more legible size.

Note the small rectangular gray device, upper center right. It's an electronic pitch gauge. It takes teamwork to use it—one plays the pipes, another holds the meter at the top of a pipe at an angle that a third can see it while adjusting the pitch, turning a fitting on the barrel of the pipe. They tune bagpipes, who knew?
