Pipe Band Kilts

[Chef]

I've seen it a few times and the only time it worked, in my opinion, was everything else the band wore was Identical, shoes, hose, sporran, shirt, pipes, hat etc.. So it looked like it was planned that way. Otherwise it doesn't look like a band just a bunch of pipers playing together.

Granted, I am ex-military so uniformity in a situation like that is rather important to me eye.

Same here. I agree that everything else should match.

The Santa Cruz Pipe and Drums wear different tartans with the same accessories. I believe that they require that the tartans be primarily green with blue though.



I thought they looked nice, though I think it is more impressive if a band all wears the same tartan.

I agree. The only time I think I would like to see different tartans marching together is during a massed bands performance.
