"they want all of the clarinet players to have the same mouthpiece for tuning reasons."
Sorry, that's just ignorance.... Regardless of the playing level, the same mouthpiece (or reed, or clarinet or whatever) will not automatically make people play in tune. It is also possible that two players can play in tune on different mouthpiece, but not on the same mouthpiece.
Vandoren mouthpieces that the band director is recommending are excellent, but it is really much better if you can try a few different models from them and not automatically go with what your band director says. Although, the 5RV is one of the better options for beginners who want an excellent mouthpiece (for complete beginners, the cheaper ones ilke Fobes Debut are probably better, just because of their price).
