Ok here is my friend Ally the tuba player:

In a black X-kilt with sousaphone preparing to march in a parade last summer.





Same X-kilt but tuba and indoors for the holidays





Black Stewart at the annual Tuba Christmas Concert in Springfield. Ally says the kilt is the perfect tuba-playing garb, both marching and seated. I customized her X-kilt by adding a tube mouthpiece holder at the waist. She has really gotten down the "sweep-the-pleats-while holding tuba, " which is quite a skill!
