Greetings everyone, I do not have any pressing announcements for this week so I want to take the opportunity to share the concert dress requirements for performances. Long ago, we decided as a group that instead of having members purchase a ‘uniform’ for performances, we would have members choose their own outfit so they would be comfortable. However, we do want to achieve a uniform appearance so that we look professional.
Concert Dress
Therefore, our concert dress is all black, from collar to toe, including shoes and stockings:
Black tops (3/4 length sleeves or longer) – no beads, sequins, netting, lace, velvet, etc.
Black floor-length dress pants or skirts (no patterns, velvet, ruffles, or tiers).
Black opaque stockings/tights and black closed-toe shoes.
No necklaces, dangling earrings (post earrings only), or flamboyant accessories.
No perfume or other scents. Many people have allergies and exposure to certain scents affects their ability to sing.
We also wear solid-colored scarves during our concerts. Scarves are to be worn around your neck, loose or tied however you choose, but please remember that some colors are reserved for the winter and others for the spring. You may purchase your scarves for $10 each or borrow them from WVC.
You may borrow a black performance folder from WVC or provide your own as long as it is identical in appearance to the WVC folder. Ordering links: folders, removable 3-ring adapters. Other options are available. Borrowed folders will be available in advance of the Winter Concert and returned in their original condition immediately following the concert.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Shout-out this week: This week’s award goes to Deb Hollis. Deb has been with WVC since 2016 and we are so very grateful for her musicianship and her friendship. She artfully assists us while we are learning our music, uses her keen ear to provide critical feedback to improve our sound and her performances are exquisite. We missed you last week and are so glad you are back. Thank you, Deb!
