Hey all,

I have some rather important questions to throw out to the membership, more the pipers than anyone else.

First, I have been hired to play a party at my college, and then walk some people down to the rapid station maybe 3/4 of a mile from the home I'll be playing at. All in all maybe a 3 hour commitment. I did some online pricing for pipers, and one guy I found charges $250 for parties! Is that normal? I can't charge that for college students, and expect to be paid...can I? I mean I'm an OKAY piper, and this will be my first gig, so what should I charge?

Next I want to know what dose everyone think of my St. Patrick's day get up. My kilt will be a MacDonald Modern, with black leather sporran, With a white shirt, blue and red regimental stripe tie, Green hand knit hose, lastly a camel coloured v-neck Pringle of Scotland sweater. All in all I think It's quite the look, maybe a sprig of shamrock to pin to the sweater to tie it all togeather?

Thanks everybody!
Nick!
