Bias strongly agreed with! Went to the Rocky Mountain Highlands Festival this year - the opening parade was presenting of the clans, pipe bands, and not much else. Absolutely magical.

You can have them all, sweetie. wrapped or unwrapped?

We have the winner. <flings confetti>

You didn't have to be a cop to be in the PG County Police PB. Fact is only a couple-three of the bandmembers were police officers. Officer Corcoran once told me one reason he joined the pipe band was to have more friends who weren't all police officers.

You can tell the ones who are sworn officers by looking to see if they have their police badges on their pipe band uniforms. Their tartan is American Police Tartan, a mauvy-looking sett that is about the only tartan I've seen that would clash with a saffron shirt.

American Police Tartan
 

It does go well with police uniform shirt colors. Even highway patrol khaki, being a neutral, can work. Just not saffron, the way red and green clan tartans can.
