Luck o the Barbs

Who needs the luck of the Irish when you are a Marching Barb or a DHS Band Fan?

We got out ahead of the snow.  We missed the shoveling and the cold back home.  We only hope our friends and families have that all sorted out and cleaned up by the time we return.

The corresponding Delta flight from JFK that the companions enjoyed on Sunday didn’t make it out on Monday. And, those travelers are surely just flat out of luck.  There is likely no finding empty seats on a later flight to Ireland the week of Saint Patrick’s Day.

Damp and chilly and overcast often best describes Ireland in March.

But not when the Barbs are in country. We’ve enjoyed stunningly beautiful weather in truly lovely settings. 

Now, the forecast is clearing a bit for Belfast. Without such improvements, today’s performance may not happen.  Our Marching Barbs will only perform weather permitting.

The sun is now peeking through the clouds, dappling some of the Northern Ireland countryside.

Let’s hope it keeps up.  Let’s hope it carries on though the parade in Dublin.

Barb Pride.

Barb Luck.

Weather Leprechauns.
