I have learned that there will be three bandas de gaitas (Asturian bagpipe bands) marching in the 2007 New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade. They are from Gijón (Xixón), Corvera and Gozón.

Our friend and member Antón asks that Asturians bring an Asturian flag to wave for the parade. That's a good idea.

That's a good idea. How do I get one? I would like to fly one all the time.
