There is this huge parade going down my street in Stirling right now. Anyone have a clue what it's about? I didn't think today was a holiday or anything special.

Sorry but that reference went over my head.

It was a parade with flute and drum bands.

It was a parade was flute and drum bands.

Today is Jack Warden's birthday and although it is commonly accepted he was born in Newark, NJ, his mother was from Clackmannanshire.

Part of me would like to believe the march was a tribute to the legend who was actorially, if not literally, "Crazy Like A Fox" :agree:

Sadly I doubt that.

Did they have majorettes?

At first I thought it was an orange march as the first group I saw looked like they would be in one. However, other groups were just wearing red and/or blue but no orange.

Orange walks don't always consist of folks wearing orange.

Apprentice boys wear red jackets with blue berets, or is that oompa loompas?

It was either an orange walk or an unfortunate child being taken away to be stretched back to normal size, juiced or rescued from the rubbish chute.

Stirling Protestant Boys Band Parade - 18.9.09

Stirling Protestant Boys will be holding their first band parade and competition in the City of Stirling on Friday the 18th of September 2009.

The parade will marshall at Kings Park at 7.15pm, parade starts at 7.30pm before parading round the town centre and back to Kings Park. Trophy's will be awarded after the parade.

We have only been allowed a permit for 15 bands for this parade, which we think is a huge success for our first parade.

The band will be holding a social evening in Bar189, Airth, after the parade, with JC's Disco and The Prince of Orange FB, Coatbridge playing. Entry will be free to all band members and £2 for non band members.

We hope to see you all on the 18th of September to support the city's first band parade.

I looked in the paper and didn't see anything about it, which surprised me. My street was effectively closed for half an hour. I would have thought that some sort of warning would have to be given. Didn't see many police either.

Unfortunately much as I despise them they have as much right to march as anyone else, however what really gets me is if you look at the list of the bands involved how many actually have links to the Stirling area.
