I understood white hose to be acceptable dress for Band members. You're not in your civvies, and you're supposed to stand out and look unusual. So, I say... be proud to wear white hose in the right context! Look good and post photos. And next time, yes, just ask for volunteer pairs on the board. You should have many happy to donate. ;-)

The thought occurred to me, but I disregarded it because I'm not one to ask for handouts from people. Now that I've thought more about it, perhaps I'd have been doing a favor for anybody willing to part with them. Hmmm...

I was ordering the spats anyways (could have possibly borrowed, but no guarantee that they'd have the right size...and spats that don't fit properly look like...well...you know what I mean!)...so the extra $19 wasn't a biggie. I was still under the $50 price threshold for the lowest cost of shipping.

Thanks Kent...I should have pasted that link earlier. Apparently "we" (I just joined, so I can't take credit) won 1st place in the veteran's organization category two years ago and second last year. Hoping to take first again this year! It's been a small investment getting my uniform ready, but I expect I'll use it more than once or twice.
