In reenactment, whenever there were pipers around (quite frequently at Highland Games and the like in Scotland), we had to be reminded NOT to march in step (not done by 10th century Vikings!), and the seriousness & determination of facial expressions deepened...
At one English Civil War do, they banned the pipes again, after we (as highlanders this time) got a bit overheated...
