Concert Attire

Concert attire, also known as concert black, refers to the clothing and accessories worn by our students during their live performances or public appearances. These outfits are carefully selected to enhance the artistic or thematic aspects of the performance, create a visual impact, and sometimes provide practical benefits like ease of movement or durability.

FAQs

  • Heels are permitted but not recommended. These performance days can be very long and tiring. If your heels are comfortable for you to stand in for extended periods, go for it.

  • You may style your hair as you would like. However, we want to look as uniform and presentable as possible. Avoid wearing super bright accessories.

  • Ties are not required or even encouraged, but if you have a black tie that you'd like to wear, you are welcome to. The same applies to sport coats and jackets, but we generally do not recommend them due to the heat of the stage lights and the discomfort that can cause.
