I'll be attending my first Burns Dinner this coming weekend, and I want to make sure I won't violate a point of etiquette.

I recently earned my "schuler" ribbon as a student of the Meyer school of longsword fencing, and it consists of a white ribbon worn tied around the right calf in the same manner as a garter. Would it be acceptable for me to wear it in the place of my normal Douglas flash on that leg? My instructor has said it's not a violation of etiquette within the school, but I want to make sure I won't be violating a point of highland dress rules.
