Most people really only have bagpipes for set occasions... Weddings, Funerals, Scottish rites and Scottish events.

Last year my sister and her wife took part in a 10K run in Glasgow for a cancer charity.
Unusually and, I think, quite wonderfully, they had a piper playing every 1K.
It meant that as the runners got close they could count it off and hear the piper playing to spur them on.

I think that was a pretty great idea and it made me wonder if any of you guys have heard of pipers being used in 'outside the box' ways?
