For those of you new to the choir (and as a reminder to the
rest), concert dress is formal. In other words, start
looking for something to wear. Information on what both women and men are expected to
wear is below. If you have questions that are not answered by the
information below, please ask our stage manager or conductor.
Do NOT wear:

- cologne

as some people are allergic to such items. Do, however, wear deodorant
and anti-perspirant.
