Too right. All the British Forces 'display' teams (Red Arrows-Air Display; White Helmets-Motorcycle Display; Red Devils-parachute display) and all the bands (pipe and otherwise) can be hired for events at home and abroad. The default dress for all the bands is No1 Parade Dress which includes medals (not just ribbons). The only exception is during practice sessions.
