    Years ago I read that Julius Caesar described the Celts in what is now France as known for wearing what he described as saffron. So I see it as more of a pan-Celtic color.

    Thanks for the video link, Paul. They look very smart. From the basketball hoop by the stage, I assume that they were performing in some Catholic school auditiorium in the U.S.

    I was surprised by their "plaids," though. They look more like sashes than the usual cape style I see worn by pipe bands here.

    Edit: I just saw that it was filmed at the St. Patrick Day post-parade party in Bayonne, N.J.
