At my school, the sixth graders don't really have to wear a uniform for performences, they just have to wear something nice. But they can't wear sneakers, T-shirts, sweatpants or anything like that. The female Clarinet players aren't aloud to wear dresses or skirts, though (For obvious reasons...).
In the seventh and eighth grade, we have to wear the official school band shirt (Which is really nice whee ) black dress pants and black dress shoes.
Any more or less than that and you wouldn't be able to perform eek

For uniforms, my school just wears our everyday winter uniform (Catholic school, we wear kilts and blouses to school. Unless you're a guy, then you wear a tie/dress shirt/grey pants.)
I like it, its easy and makes the band look put together.

Uniforms-- all we do is take our band uniform, wear a white dress shirt, not wear the overlay, and there's the uniform. Oh, and we all have blue bow-ties as well. It's supposed to look like a dinner jacket.

For competitions we have uniforms just because it looks better.
The dresses aren't al all form fitting... they're black and kinda ugly and they're more like gaudy nightgowns.
But we safety pin them tighter and sew sashes onto them so they fit us better and they're okay looking now.
So if you get something gaudy... there are ways to make it better.
we even tie them at the bottom so they're higher up (it started out for practical use so we wouldn't kill ourselves while we hauled large things around) just on one side... its pretty sexy. but we let it down before we perform... its for casual use smile

Our uniform is horrible, better then last year though. Its a button-up shirt with a collar, and long sleaves, we have to wear a black tie and black comberbun (sp?). The girls have to wear skirts while the boys wear pants. I swear, some of the skirts they gave us to wear are taller then some of the people in my class, I personally, could wear mine as a dress its so long. Its better then the ugly lime green dresses we had to wear last year though xp

At our school, the guys get a Tux as their uniform. The band orders them and sizes the guys.
Our band director didn't want to hear the girls complaining about uniform dresses, so he told us to just wear floor length dresses with long sleeves. NO sequence or frills...

My band for as long as I can remember has had tuxes. For everybody. This year though we had a big boom in size so the pulled all of us girls aside in Band Camp and told us that we had to be measured for skirts, which wasn't too bad, because we all thought we were still getting tux jackets. No such luck, we wear a floorlength black skirt, a white tuxedo shirt, a cumberbund, and a red bowtie with whatever dress shoes make us tall enough for the skirt. We look like 1800's school teachers, it's horrible.

Guys get tuxes. Girls get these dresses:  You're probably thinking. 'Those don't look so bad.' Try wearing them. They don't have a size 3 and the size 4 was too big, so I got stuck in a size 2 that kinda squishes me. That wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have asthma. The arms basically cut off circulation and dig into our arms. They've made me bleed before. These dresses were made for stick girls. Stupid muscle... gonk Yeah, in the picture, that's how far I can lift my arms before it starts hurting.

I think its best to have a uniform. Its clean and looks good ^^
The trick is ending up with a uniform that's not completely dorky -.-; I hate wearing a tie when I'm female xD

Here's what everyone had to wear in my last band all had the exact same uniform except for the cut.
Corfram dress shoes the more uncomfortable the better according to my director, thin line dress socks, wool trousers, white long sleeve T-shirt, Long sleeve Blue dress shirt with shirt garters to clip to your socks, heavy weight blue service dress jacket (wool), blue service dress tie, and a flight cap. On your uniform you have to wear a bunch of different metal devices which in total weigh about 2.5 pds.
By the way, my last band was in the United States Air Force.
