Of course as are regimental pipe bands in the UK. Granted a kilt might be pert of their regular uniform but they are not wearing their parade uniform. The same is true with many of the other marching bands in the US military. They have a special parade uniform but they don't wear it for regular duty.

Even the Marines have special uniforms for their bands.
