"Address to the Haggis" Baton Rouge, LA

Okay, so I'm assuming this is the place where I ought to post video. Here is the link anyway of my rendition of Burns' "Address to the Haggis". This was in Baton Rouge, LA on January 23rd, 2010. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuUT8OaXaaE

Let me know what you think. Also, since this an attire-related forum. Do you notice any discrepancies with dress?

Yes... I suppose perhaps over-theatrical for some. But it gets people a little more excited. I'm trying to battle the lethargy that has hit our group in the non-performance clubs (performing groups being the dancing and piping organizations).

The pipers' unforms weren't uniform.
