A question for the pipers in the group. Do you just ignore the rain when piping in a parade? You obviously can't manage an umbrella. My sense of modern tweeds is they don't provide much protection. I hate the idea of wearing a jacket over my kilt outfit since part of the point of being kilted is for your tartan to be seen. I am planning to travel light for the tartan day parade which means minimal changes of dry clothes. Ie once damp, will stay damp.
