dude - that sucks! that being said, it is one of those rites of passage that parents and grandparents like to see and it is important to conform for their sakes. (that being said, we had white and maroon robes, and my friend took off hi maroon robe as they called his name, revealing a black graduation robe. The principal shook his hand, held out the diploma for the picture and then took the diploma back and my friend had to go get it the next day.)
I probably have clothes I can lend you (better if you do not roll in the grass after you are done tho), and if your senior male administrator (superintendant, principal, etc) is wearing pantyhose, then I think you should too. Apart from that....
I think you should ask about a light colored, professional pantsuit. Also accessbile from thriftstores. I think white jeans would interfere with what they are going for, in a solomon, professional atmosphere, but I would like to hear a public school system insist on skirts, if the student were to present a professional pantsuit. Even cellists wear pants.
If your robes are long enough, you could always show up already dressed... with shorts on underneath!! :) (note: you should have a skirt in the car in case someone howls)
