Attire Update

Some recent questions we have received have led us to believe that it would be helpful to everyone if we clarify what the expectations are for student attire during the flights to and from Europe. As we looked back at our handouts from the earlier meeting, we realize this was unclear.

While traveling on June 7 and June 20 ...

Students are required to wear their tour polo shirt (which will be distributed at rehearsals the week of June 2). Students do not need to wear khaki pants or black shoes during travel (these are for our informal concerts in Europe). However, students should wear long pants. Jeans that are not ripped, do not have large holes in them, and fit appropriately, are acceptable. Shorts or "Pajama pants" are not appropriate. Look conservative and professional.

Students may wear comfortable tennis shoes with their jeans or long pants. Sandals that cover a substantial part of your foot are okay too; flip-flops are not appropriate for this portion of our journey together.

We hope this will clarify expectations for travel attire; our plan is to reinforce these expectations with students during rehearsals the week of June 2.
