Uniform's only compulsory when we're playing gigs (concerts, dinners, etc), at rehearsal you can wear what you like! However, if you're entitled to wear a uniform other than RN (e.g. your Army togs!) you can wear that. (Just be prepared from some gentle mickey-taking!) Quite a few of the bands have a varied selection of uniforms when on parade (HM forces, police, etc).
As for marching, if you're unable to (e.g. you have a bad back, use a wheelchair, etc), you can simply not put your name down for those gigs. However, if you're just unwilling to march, bear in mind that those engagements are often excellent days/weeks out!
