 The Band is saddened by the passing of active Lt. Stephen Acton.
Steve was active in the Emerald Society as a Life Member. He has also served in the Band as a member of the Honor Guard. Steve, you will be missed. Here are some pictures of The Band marching in the Capitals Championship Parade. Thanks again to the Capitals and their owner Ted Leonsis.
We had a great time! Congratulations to the Stanley Cup Champion Washington Capitals!
Thanks for making us part of the celebration. Pipe Major Jim Mazzara also got a little personal time with The Cup! See everyone out on the parade route!  Active Firefighter Robert "Bob" Marshall passed away April 21st after a tragic traffic accident. Bob was assigned to Engine Company 29 and served the
District for almost 20 years. Please keep his family, friends, and co-workers in your thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace Bob. The Band made the trip down to sunny Florida for the 50th Annual Delray Beach St. Patrick's Day Parade for the third time. As usual, we had a blast. Before the parade we had the honor of playing for the Esposito Family, who lost both their son and nephew on 9/11. The Band would like to give a very special thanks to Metro-Dade Firefighters Local 1403 and also to John Fischer, the organizer of this great parade! The Band made their 16th trip down Constitution Avenue in the 48th Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade of Washington, D.C. The weather was great and so was the Emerald Society after-party. Congratulations to Henry Sullivan & Cody Lockwood on their first parade with the Band! Thanks to everyone that came out to the Kirwan's on the Wharf March 10th. We had a great time. |
