    It sort of looks like some kiltmakers specialize in doing "bulk" orders for pipe bands and cut a discoount* for quantity. Of course the question would be how many band members will you end up with? I'd guess that they'd cut a bigger discount for twenty kilts than they would for six.

    And please don't forget that your fire department is genuinely entitled to run some fund raisers for such a noble cause. Frankly, organizations here run them at the drop of a hat and for much less worthy endeavours...I'd say that an honor guard is pretty worthy.

    *discoount: either a mis-spelling or a Scottish discount...take your pick.
