Probably.
Here's a closeup, you can see that it's not the Pipes & Drums but rather their Military Band; note the clarinet, cornet, trombone, and French horn.
The band is wearing the Full Dress doublet with musician's shells, musician's dirks, and long plaids. If I had to guess I would say that the fellow with his back to the camera, wearing the fly plaid and Glengarry, is a drummer from the Pipes & Drums.
It appears that non-musicians are wearing ordinary Scottish pattern cutaway khaki serge tunics.
