When planning to go to a Highland Games, make sure you are prepared for all types of weather. An Inverness cape is good to have in case of rain. It will protect you from the elements and still allow you to play. Now on sale!

Piping for a Highland Dance Competition When preparing to pipe for highland dancers, here are some tips:
- If piping at a competition, talk with the competition organizer to get the most up-to-date information on the standard dance tempos
- Another good way to ensure you have the right tempo is to go and practice at a local dance studio. The teachers will be able to give you a heads up if the tempo is good or not
- When piping for an event that is not a competition, talk to the teacher or senior dancers about the tempo
- Attend dance competitons to hear other pipers play
- For a non-championship competition, play "fun tunes" for premier level dancers
