- 3/4 or long sleeved black shirt or blouse. Singers wearing a tie should have a collared dress shirt. No sleeveless or short sleeved shirts please (unless worn with a solid black cardigan or jacket).
- Black pants (true black jeans (not faded) or leggings if the shirt covers the bottom are acceptable) or long skirt or dress
- Black shoes (dressier shoes are preferred, solid black is a necessity)
- If your shoes require socks, please be sure they are black
