    I think it might be a sort of Zen Rugby - like the normal game of Go, but played on a much bigger board, with beer/cider and hand gestures.

    You know.... your post just got me thinking... wouldn't it be great to see a pipe band outfitted in utility kilts!

    You will enjoy it. There is no reason not to have a kilt for wearing at occasions other than when piping!

    Why not?? I think a military band all in camo kilts would look pretty sharp!

    OK-Camo Semi-Trad Kilts would be more 'military' than say, caramel UK Workman's.

    Talking AmeriKilt

    I hope you enjoy it... It just never fit me right.

    I felt guilty about ignoring it in the closet. ;)

    I've seen solid color pipe bands in Saffron, Maroon, Blue, black and Green (Kelly green), but never camo or anything with pockets.

    I think that other pipers wouldn't take them as seriously, so it would have to be a "fun" pipe band, rather than a grade 1 competition band. It's NOTHING against any solid kilt companies... it's just that Bagpipers would probably be the strongest "holdout" of a traditional kilt.

    Personally, I think it would look pretty cool (and original) to see a group of 15 or 20 pipers come marching in a parade in contemporary kilts, t-shirts and boots.
