Help a California Jr. High student get started?
I wonder if it's contagious...
My wife is a teacher at one of the local middle-schools around here, and I have visited, kilted, often enough to be recognized by most of the students as "Mrs. *****'s husband."
Got this message from her today:
I have a student who is very interested in getting information about
wearing kilts, where to buy them, online kilted community and bagpipe
lessons.
help me get it together for Monday?

Here's my answer:
The first thing you do, if you can find him today, is direct him to www.xmarksthescot.com for the kilt info; we consider ourselves a "family-friendly" forum site and anything untoward gets moderated pretty quickly, so it shouldn't be a problem with the parents. We can look up the rest this weekend - at least maybe find some leads for him.
I figure just being here and asking questions of the community will give him everything he needs to know about kilts, but I don't know if there are local makers (for a custom, if that's what he wants) or anything about the local bagpipe community; any leads out there?
Keep in mind, he, or his parents, will probably be reading this thread eventually.

As far as pipe lessons go, are there local police/fire drum and pipe bands in the area? If so, check with them. You can also check the Western United States Pipe Band Association or www.bobdunsire.com. They have a band directory and helpful forum.

Send him this way with any questions he may have! I am sure we will all be on our best behavior for to-be-kilted youngster!

Whew! Iolaus I knew you were in school, but when I saw this, I was momentarily concerned for your academic level! Seriously, have the young gent check in. We don't bite (well Glassman had that one incident, but he was acquitted), and would love to lend a hand with information. We might even be able to help with some donated goods. What do you think guys, we all must have kilts or accessories that we never use, what better use than donating them to a new kilt wearer.

And there are others
Josh is here too, from CA and is in school. So the student would even have someone around his age to talk to also.
