Emory University in Atlanta has three pipers lead the procession at their graduation ceremonies in May. I think they are always well received and have heard comments from graduates that they were very impressed by it. I don't know what if any historical significance there is, Emory is a Methodist based or related university. Still, nice to see and hear.
