Students will wear: Choir Dresses or Choir Tuxedos (FORMAL ATTIRE)
How to dress for the concert:
Shoes: Dress shoes are needed for this event. They must be black/close toed. (High heels are highly discouraged) Please contact the directors if you need assistance in obtaining black dress shoes for this event.
Earrings: Should be small, non-distracting studs. Hoops, dangling pieces are not allowed
Necklaces: ARE NOT ALLOWED
Hair: Hair must be pulled styled back from the face and in a way that is up. (Pony tail, braids, buns, etc.) Hair will not lay behind/in front of the shoulders freely. Please have your hair styled upon arrival. UNNATURAL HAIR COLOR NEEDS TO BE CHANGED OR STYLED IN A WAY THAT IT WILL NOT BE A DISTRACTION.
Make-Up: Please make sure make-up is NORMAL and not overdone as to distract audience members from the performances. The goal is uniformity, not individuality during a concert.
Undergarments: Please make sure whatever you are wearing under the dress/tux is not visible. Hair will not be down to cover any straps!
If a student cannot meets these requirements, they will not be allowed on the stage to perform. To make up the major grade, they will be required to complete a research paper, due before we leave for winter break.
