Examiners must see loads of school uniforms during exams but I was curious to hear if anyone ended up wearing anything slightly out of the ordinary for their exam , eg exam was just before a fancy dress party or you'd rushed straight in from a rugby match in kit ?

I think that Cheeble did an ensemble exam dressed as a fairy once...?

I've done a couple in full rowing kit....once it had been raining really badly, I must have smelt of river. Poor examiner. I got my worst ever mark in that exam.

My son did a piano exam with dyed red hair and a red nose once (red nose day).

WEll I only brought this up as I heard of someone turning up for a saxophone exam in lederhosen...perhaps he was on his way to abeer fest ?

Yes, I think she did too

I'll wear my dirndl for my first exam then, ('Sound of Music' style dress). Might distract the examiner from my beginner's intonation???

I'm thinking of a bikini and sarong for my grade 1 sax - I desperately need something to distract the examiner's attention from my playing.

Ahhh, but a female examiner might not be so impressed....

I doubt it!

Wouldn't the sarong cover up the bikini ?

No, I usually wear the sarong round my waist.
