Concert Dress

Our standard concert dress (unless specific instructions are given for something else):

All: Please avoid wearing scented products of any kind - some singers have allergies.

Our usual concert wear is all black for all genders, a bit fancier than casual.

Men: the usual long-sleeved black dress shirt and pants, jacket is not required but wear one if you like and it's black. No tie.

Acceptable outfits include any of the following:

Tops with at least 3/4 length sleeve or a collared long-sleeved dress shirt.  

Skirt or dress that is mid-calf or longer; dress pants or trousers.

A long black tunic over black leggings.

Black shoes and black stockings/socks/tights. (If you need stockings, we have some that have been donated.)

Not acceptable choices are:

Tank tops, spaghetti straps, low-cut blouses, bare legs or feet (unless it's really hot at a summer concert and we've made a decision to relax some rules), turtlenecks, casual T-shirts, athletic wear...

Jewellery is optional and a sparkly diamond look is fine; please avoid anything large and dangly or rattly enough to distract the audience, other singers or the conductor. 

Folders: Black choralex folders – see Debbie in the altos to buy or borrow.

Masks:  Currently, masks are optional, but of course this can change in response to infection rates and/or new public health orders.   See Sherry Lepage for disposable (though they can be used quite a few times) singing masks. Unfortunately the manufacturer is only making white ones now.

If you prefer your own  mask, that is fine.

Men: the usual black dress shirt and pants, jacket is not required but wear one if you like and it's black. Can add some seasonal (red, green, gold, silver) colour in a tie or pocket handkerchief if you wish.

Women: black and bling, which can mean sparkly jewelry, red, green, gold or silver hair clip, scarf, etc. See below for details.
