There is a large contingent of Scots in the DFW area, and across Texas in general -- and in June, the Arlington Games are held -- they might be able to do some fundraising in cooperation with the local Scottish societies.

In Springfield, we have all-girl drum & bugle corps that wear Highland attire -- the first contingent, the Central High School Kilties, were formed by a Scottish immigrant, R. Ritchie Robertson, in the 1920's -- over time, all five high schools in Springfield had their own corps:

Parkview HS Lassies (Gordon tartan)
Glendale HS Glengarry Scots (Lindsay)
Kickapoo HS Bonnie Buchanans (Buchanan)
Hillcrest HS Highlanders (Dress Stuart)
Central HS Kilties (Royal Stuart)

Sadly, only the Kilties and Highlanders remain -- the others were disbanded due to lack of interest. The Kilties are the most successful, and even got invited to march in the Lord Mayor of London's New Year's Day parade in 2002 -- our Scottish society dontated funds to help send them.

J. Higgins is usually pretty good to work with bands for kilts and other kit -- that seems to be one of their specialities.

Cheers,

Todd
