GROWING TRADITION – Members of the Seattle Firefighters Pipes & Drums pose outside Blatchley Middle School this afternoon following a short performance for the students. This year seventeen members of the group traveled to Sitka for the Alaska Day festival, the most ever for the group that has become an Alaska Day staple. Today they were scheduled to play at Xoots Elementary, Sitka High, the Sitka Long Term Care Facility, Blatchley, Mt. Edgecumbe High School, the Elks Lodge, Westmark, Coast Guard, the Legion Hall and the Moose Lodge before playing at the Alaska Day Ball tonight. (Sentinel Photo by James Poulson)
