REHEARSAL EXPECTATIONS

  • Please refrain from talking/whispering during rehearsals, especially if the person leading rehearsal is working with another section. This will allow everyone to see and hear what is going on, and allow other singers to follow along if they so choose.
  • All cell phones must be silenced during rehearsal. If you must take a call, please leave the rehearsal area to do so.

CONCERT ATTIRE

Concert Attire

NOTE:  Bear in mind that we perform in houses of worship.  Our concert attire standards have been established in an effort to maintain respect for our host venues, and uniformity within the chorus.  For dress rehearsals, no special attire is required.

For Everyone:

  • NO perfume, cologne, after-shave or strong smelling fabric softener. (This also applies to rehearsals.)
  • Music (including music scores on an electronic device) must be in a plain black folder or binder.
    • Please do *not* hole-punch sheet music!
  • Black socks or hosiery
  • Black belt, if needed
  • Comfortable, low-heeled black shoes
  • No bare shoulders or deep neck lines.
  • Masks (if required, preferred) must be solid black with no decorations or words of any kind
  • Jewelry should be understated. The idea is to blend in with everyone else vs standing out.
    • Ex. A string of pearls, a chain with a cross, etc.
    • NOTE: Events presented by other organizations may have different jewelry requirements.

Option 1:

  • Black dress pants
  • Black shirt
  • Black neck tie (if button-down dress/Oxford style shirt)
