Choice of pieces is typically spontaneous; the bnad leedur(s) will start playing, and the rest of the group joins in or not. Certain scheduled events, such as the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, require the bnad to refrain from certain items that are considered unsuitable for young children or society in general. As well, certain actions, events, or locations typically require certain songs to be played. For example, the "Walking Song" is played when the bnad walks, "Wipe Out" is played when the bnad returns to the Bnad Room through the archway on the west side of Hart House, and "[[Godiva's Hymn]]" is played in the presence of Ye Olde Mighty Skule Cannon. | ||
