    Athlon Sports SE Magazine

    In the 2006 Preview Edition of Athlon Sports Southeastern Magazine (football) on pg 11, the drum major for Notre Dame marching band is in a full kilt drum major kit. Looks nice.

    I can't imagine why you would get SE Athlon!! (Something to do with "Chickens from Hell," as related to "Ladies from Hell" :rolleyes: )

    Interesting though, a school ND, that prides itself on its "Irishness" has a "Scottish" drum major. I wonder if anyone (besides us) knows the difference?

    It is a "general" celebration of "Celticness," as the fans cheer "The Fighting Irish"

    It's all about the Cocks!

    It may be an Irish tartan, Im not sure, I'll browse the books for a bit and see if I can identify it. It's not a bad looking one though.

    So true!

    OK so apparently ND has their own pipe band: http://www.nd.edu/~bagpipes/

    the tartan on the website background is the one in the magazine. The history bio on the band seems to imply that this is their own tartan.

    The tartan is called Notre Dame Marching Guard.
