    Wolftrap farm is very neat. I was there a few months ago. If it was me, I would go in a nice button up shirt and a trad kilt with a colored hose and a pair of nice black dress shoes. The audience when I saw the Paul Taylor Dance Company was pretty casual. Enjoy the show and lets hear what you wear.

    I came back from the concert. It was pretty good. Wolftrap is a beautiful location. Trees surround the concert hall (which is made of wood and steel). It is a semi-open hall. There is a constant breeze from the woods.

    Here's what I looked like:


    Just before the concert started. My seat was in the covered section.


    I made the flashes today in a hurry.



    I got a lot of smiles from people. Almost all of the staff that I passed by as I walked around were all smiling at me. One of them (an older woman) stopped and just admired my whole get up "Look at you, you look just wonderful," she said. "Are you performing on stage?"

    Another staff member asked me why I was wearing the kilt at an Irish Tenors concert. I said it's the Celtic connection, etc.


    Some people wouldn't look as they approached but I could see them look from the side of their eyes as they passed by. I guess they thought it was rude to stare. Some stared and talked about it (I think in a good way).

    I believe I was the only kilted at the concert. Most were casually dressed. Many were in shorts. When night fell and the concert was in progress, the temperature was just perfect (in the 70s °F and dry and breezy). It was very comfortable.

    The friend that I was with was jealous that the women were checking me out and he said why don't they check him out too (well, he was wearing pants).
