It’s that time of year again, when the Ballard High School marching band hits the streets of Ballard.

We caught up with them at 10th Ave NW and NW 70th Street on Thursday afternoon. Quite a few people were following along, happy kids in tow. We’re assuming that the band is practicing for the annual Syttende Mai parade which will be on Tuesday, May 17th from 6 to 8 p.m. According to comments, the band is practicing for their upcoming trip to Disneyland.
