I don't know if I will be observing parade from sidelines or joining in parade.

Thoughts?
Here in Canada, Glengarrys are still worn as military uniform by several Regiments. You don't see them worn by civilans much outside of pipe bands and Highland Games.
The law discourages you from wearing uniform items that are still in use by the Armed Forces if you are no longer serving but we sneak our old berets on anyway and there is zero chance of enforcement.
