Uniform and Instrument
Requirements
Below you will find a list uniform and
instrument requirements for performing with the band. Because visual
presentation is almost as important as the music we generate, please make every
effort to acquire the needed uniform items and keep everything clean and in good
repair.
Many bands provide uniform items (and some
instrument items) to their performers. As our band is still young and
without sponsors, each performing member is responsible for their own uniforms
and instruments. However, when you perform with the band, you will
receive an equal portion of the band performance fees to offset what
you've had to spend on equipment and uniforms.
Uniform Requirements ([Discr.] =
Player's Discretion, [ ] blank means it isn't worn.)

Instrument Requirements for Pipers
- Bagpipes in good working order
- Dunbar Elite 1 pipe chanter. Tuned A
= 474Hz. If you can tune an existing chanter to match the band
chanters, you are welcome to do so. However, this should be a
temporary solution and you should try to get a matching Dunbar chanter as
soon as possible.
Instrument Requirements for Drummers
- Drum and carrier in good working order,
clean, and tuned. Brand/style/model is at the discretion of the performer.
- Clean drum heads
- Appropriate sticks or mallets

their hearing by using ear plugs.
