The Newport High School Marching Band passes the Capitol during the Inaugural Parade Tuesday morning.

Turnout for Gov. Steve Beshear’s inaugural parade Tuesday was light compared to years past, but many crowded Frankfort's Capital Avenue to glimpse the governor and watch the more than 50 high school marching bands. “We used to be in the band together back in high school, and we really like parades,” said Tim Schultz, a state employee who sat in a camping chair along Broadway with his wife, Nanette Schultz.
