[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP must not have been in band or chorus or orchestra when she was in school.  Black pants (and black dresses!) have been required forever.  [/quote]

Or maybe op went to a private school?

FTR: the dress code isn't just for the band. Our school uses this dress code for the winter choir concert (4th and 5th graders). It's mandatory, not an elective like band.

[b]And at private schools, the dress code for such a thing is "holiday best."[/b][i][u] I think kids would like nicer in their holiday best (sparkly or velvet dresses, red/green or blue/silver, holiday ties. etc.). Plus, it adds to the festive spirit. [/quote]

Perhaps at your kids' private school the dress code is holiday best, but that's not true at my kids' school, and it wasn't true of the private school I went to at a different state.  (I still remember going to about 8 different stores to find a black skirt that would fit in 8th grade.  I was really short and skinny, but didn't want  little kids skirt.)
The preschool/K kids are "festive attire" but after that, it's white shirts and black pants.
As so many PPs have said, that's standard concert attire all across the country, from little kids to professional orchestras.  (Minus the tux/suit jacket for kids)[/quote]
DP, pointing out as other PPs have, that not everyone has a “holiday best” outfit. If you don’t celebrate Christmas, that’s not necessarily part of your world, and would certainly be more expensive than just buying a pair of black pants. [/quote]
