PaulIsaac- love the inside out shirts, even better if you'd tried to fix it while sitting in church. We'll see if my ministry takes me as far as Australia, for now I'd be happy with Texas (from Florida)- since I've got friends and family there.
Margaret- I've never bought the theory that it doesn't matter how bad a uniform looks up close, from far enough away it's fine. The military sure doesn't buy that. My high school band uniforms (in 1968-70) were made in about 1950, with super large pants that fit poorly on EVERYBODY, and were in the habit of falling down. Funny but not much fun. Then there were the (what must have been) chicken feather thingys in our hats. Anyway I bet your red tux outfits were supposed to be pretty cool at some point, ditto the powder blue suits. Must be tough to throw them away and start over, that's why so many groups hold on too long. And what if a brand new setup looks bad on day 1? And yes, it's good to pay attention to clothing that was obviously not designed for clarinet playing. I remember choir robes with sleeves that snap for pianist and organist. Haven't been around choir robes in some years now.
Russ- your group looks rather ordinary. Couldn't you do something more original, like Elvis impersonations?
