Correct shirt for semi-formal (aka, back tie)?

Please correct me if I'm am wrong, but the gentlemen in the picture are/were accomplished pipers and as such they are entertainers dressed up to the nines to entertain an audience. Yet again you fail to understand that bands and their attire and the musicians are entertainers so their dress requirements are rather more showy than an audience may require.

This is my point! The unhelpful picture demonstrates that guests------for MOST occasions------ going to a formal event and much less so for whatever a semi-formal(a decidedly unhelpful term) is a tad more than the event requires. They don't need to follow what the entertainers are wearing. In consequence, the starry-eyed newcomer to kilt attire should not be led astray with their attire requirements and with the ensuing unnecessary expense, by thinking they need all the bells and whistles that entertainers need. They don't!
