Uniforms
Just as the ensemble's sound is important, so is the ensemble's appearance when in performance, dress rehearsals and touring. A uniformly, neatly outfitted ensemble is essential for a truly artistic experience. A couple of rules for all singers:
Informal uniforms may be worn to rehearsals, but must be worn to dress rehearsals and when singers are in public touring or traveling or otherwise as designated.
Returning singers are encouraged to check the size and condition of their current uniforms. We will ensure that every child has a uniform – please contact us if you need assistance. Polos, t-shirts and sweatshirts are available for purchase or ordering in September and October during Tuesday rehearsals in the Fine Arts building. Checks are preferred or exact change.
All singers are required to wear their complete formal uniform to the October 17 rehearsal to check for conformity. This includes Dolce too!
- Appropriate concert dress and grooming are a requirement for participation in a performance
- Boy’s shirts are to be tucked in
- No obvious make-up, cosmetics, jewelry, earrings, accessories, watches, etc.
- Singers must have their hair pulled back, away from their face
