9:07 AM: In the brisk sunshine of this St. Patrick’s Day morning, Alki Elementary students, staff, and parents welcomed a parade and playground mini-concert before school, with members of the King County Firefighters Pipes and Drums. We’ll add more when back at HQ.

ADDED 10:34 AM: Some of the parents who got into the spirit – from left, Tammy, Cheryl, and Anne:

In the schoolyard, everyone gathered in a circle around the musicians:

    Cute, but I hope none of the neighbors were still trying to sleep!

      It was after 8:30 am and with the school and playground there, things are plenty busy already by that hour. Top o’the mornin’!

      I would vastly prefer waking up to bagpipes and screaming children than trash trucks or fireworks!

    I’m one of those neighbors — and it was a great happy way to start the day!

    It was pretty great.  Thank you so much King County Firefighters Pipes and Drums, and the leprechaun that invited them.  It was magic.

Sorry, comment time is over.
