We have plans to move up to a dress tunic, when we can raise more money, for more formal occasions, ie...funerals. We do those frequently in our large retirement community. Lots of retired firefighters from up north end up in our pleasant climate.

Our chief has also given us the go ahead to start forming a drum and pipe corps. Very exciting. I'll have lots of questions when that happens.

Thanks every body. I'll post pics when it all comes together.

My bold.

Crikey! It must be hard playing the pipes with those on!
