Kilts
 |
MacLeod tartan kilts are the trademark
uniform of the Scot Marching Band.
|
The Scot Band uniforms are one of the most recognized symbols
of The College of Wooster. The idea of using a Scottish style
uniform came in the late 1930's while trying to develop a new
band uniform. Through a generous donation by alumnus Birt Babcock,
the school purchased the first shipment of MacLeod tartan kilts.
The MacLeod tartan had no special significance at the time other
than that the tartan matched school colors.
However, those first kilts did not make it from Scotland. In
1939, that fateful first shipment of kilts was sunk in the Atlantic
by a German submarine. Another shipment did make the journey
across the Atlantic, and in 1940 the kilts made their debut.
