NEW FEATURE! For those of you heading straight to the parade click HERE for maps and directions to our major gigs.
Saturday, March 20 - "Girardville St. Patrick's Day Parade" - When it comes to St. Pat's parades, this one is King, all others are barn dances by comparison. Meet at the Allentown Fairgrounds at 9:00am for the carpool out. The parade itself starts at 12:00pm, but the town gets incredibly crowded so it's best to get there early.
Sunday, March 21 - "Allentown St. Patrick's Day Parade" - Meet at the Ritz, at the Allentown Fairgrounds at 12:30pm, so we can go over the music. The parade kicks off at 1:30pm, and follows the westerly, circular route that will take us right back to the Fairgrounds, so we don't have to worry about getting vehicles to the end. In past years the infield was available for parking, try to get in at the North West corner, near the Wachovia Bank. As far as we know there is no rain date.
Wednesday, April 14 - "Iron Pigs Home Opener" - Meet at Dieruff HS's parking lot around 4:00pm. Al would like to get carpools together and depart the HS lot by 4:15 (or on Al time, 4:23pm). We'll play just inside the main gates from 4:30pm to 6pm.
Saturday, May 1 - "Race for Adam's 5th Annual 5K Run/Walk" - Meet at the covered bridge off of 24th St, in the Lehigh Parkway to serenade the runners/walkers as they stagger past. Meet time 9:45am for a 10:00am start.
Saturday, May 8 - "Bloomsburg's 100th Anniversary/Fireman's Parade" - Meet at the Allentown Fairgrounds Northeast corner (near the bunny houses) at 1:00pm. The parade starts at 4:00pm.
Saturday, June 12 - "Windgap Fireman's Parade" - Meet at the Wendy's in Hellertown, Rt 412 & 78 at 12:00pm. The parade starts at 2:00pm. Sorry, this one isn't on the map page yet, I don't have any information about the route or starting point. If you're planning on heading up there please call Al for directions.
Monday, July 12 - "Iron Pigs All Star Home Run Derby" - Meet at Dieruff HS's parking lot at 4:00pm. We'll play at the main gate from 4:30pm to 6:00pm.
Saturday, July 24 - "Bicentennial Park Summerfest" - This gig is still tentative. Meeting times and places TBA.
Wednesday, September 22 - "Ephrata Fair Parade" - Those of you who made this one last year know that it is a HUGE parade, one of the most heavily attended parades of the year. Meet at the Allentown Fairgrounds, SE corner at 4:00pm, if possible. Last year we met at 5:00pm, and barely made it in time, so this year we'll try to get rolling earlier. The parade itself starts at 7:00pm. If you don't make anything else before Halloween season starts try for this one. You won't be disappointed.
More gigs to come, stay tuned, and stay IN tune!
