Band uniform cost cutting gone too far?

A suggestion on how the group can accomplish the lowest possible expense for uniforms was made tonight.  Inspired by a photo on the Calgary Highlanders regimental website, one of the group suggested we go with Socks, Shoes, Spats and Sporran. And while this uniform has an official name (Sporran Parade), and it is decent on … Continue reading “Band uniform cost cutting gone too far?”

            A suggestion on how the group can accomplish the lowest possible expense for uniforms was made tonight.  Inspired by a photo on the Calgary Highlanders regimental website, one of the group suggested we go with Socks, Shoes, Spats and Sporran.

And while this uniform has an official name (Sporran Parade), and it is decent on those hot, humid but overcast days, I suspect some of the membership will have an issue with this order of dress.

            Do you have a Birthday Party to plan?  How about a Retirement party?  Christmas Party or St Paddy's Day event?  Maybe an Awards Ceremony or Banquet?

The bagpipes can enhance all of these events.

From a surprise performance of “Happy Birthday” to a long performance of catchy toe tapping tunes or piping for Highland Dancers, I can integrate into and enhance your event.

This is equally true for corporate events.  I can pipe in dignitaries, or head tables.  I can play the 15 minute warning to a meal, and I can perform during the meal.

As well, if you desire a custom Piping CD, I can record the tunes you desire.
