    I think it might be a sort of Zen Rugby - like the normal game of Go, but played on a much bigger board, with beer/cider and hand gestures.

    Congrats on the new kilt!

    You know.... your post just got me thinking... wouldn't it be great to see a pipe band outfitted in utility kilts!

    You will enjoy it. There is no reason not to have a kilt for wearing at occasions other than when piping!

    Why not?? I think a military band all in camo kilts would look pretty sharp!

    I've seen solid color pipe bands in Saffron, Maroon, Blue, black and Green (Kelly green), but never camo or anything with pockets.

    I think that other pipers wouldn't take them as seriously, so it would have to be a "fun" pipe band, rather than a grade 1 competition band. It's NOTHING against any solid kilt companies... it's just that Bagpipers would probably be the strongest "holdout" of a traditional kilt.

    Personally, I think it would look pretty cool (and original) to see a group of 15 or 20 pipers come marching in a parade in contemporary kilts, t-shirts and boots.

    re: Rocky's comment about other pipe bands taking them seriously...well, that would be snobbery...I'd put more weight on how they sounded than how they looked. If you join a pipe band you undertake the obligation to do the dress and do it to the nines and be judged on it...do you then just offhandedly look down on anyone who doesn't wear a tartan and who might not have as much $ invested in their gear?

    Sound slike it would be the equivalent of the Stanford Marching Band for pipes and drums!
