Playing the Pipes for Easter Sunrise Service

Wish I could be there. Good Luck.

Blupiper,
Presumably this will be an outdoor service. What you describe is quite apropos for the occasion. A dark commando sweater, etc is smart attire and more so for the piper.

I've worn it to many funeral gigs for no other reason than I was weary of the usual black argyll jacket.

I'm sure you'll make necessary preparations for cold weather piping.

My concern at those temperatures is keeping my hands warm & dexterous. For that, I've been using Wristies with the disposable heaters. Works beautifully. You should have time to receive a pair if you order quickly.

Slainte & Welcome,
steve

Thanks for the replies, all. It will be an outside service, at a local memorial park and cemetary. I will try to "stay dextrous," which should be a challenge. I am still keeping my fingers crossed for unseasonably nice weather.

Got it done. Took the kit I described, along with an Inverness cape to keep it from raining. Began at 6:30 am with 'Morning Has Broken' and finished not being able to feel my fingertips. Weather about 31 degrees and no rain or snow, thankfully. In bed with a cold last two days. Oh, well, the things we do.
