Dress Code

The dress code for the recital is formal as this is a special occasion. Think "clean and classy," not just "cute."

The following clothing items are examples of appropriate attire:

  • Suit (or suit pieces)

    1. Button-down collar shirt

    2. Tie

    3. Slacks/Chinos

    4. Dress (preferably linen or similar material)

    5. Girls are not required to wear a dress, but if they wear pants, they should be slacks/chinos style

Please note that the following items are examples of attire inappropriate for the occasion:

  • Jeans (regardless of how dark or light they are)

    1. Leggings as pants (leggings under a dress/skirt is okay)

    2. Shorts

    3. T-shirts

    4. Skirts

    5. Tennis shoes/sneakers (yes, even the $300 pair)

If you need further inspiration, I recommend a quick Google search of "formal clothes for boys/girls."

Etiquette

Recitals are important milestones in a student's music learning. To preserve the integrity of this milestone event, please abide by the following guidelines:

  • Come dressed appropriately for the occasion

  • Stay through the end of the program - every student deserves an equal opportunity to an audience

  • Remain quiet during each performance

  • Silence your cell phone immediately upon entering

  • No flash photography

  • Clap loudly before and after every performer

  • If you have a baby or young child, sit close to the exit (or in the Quiet Room in the back of the hall) so you may step out if they get a little fussy

  • Do NOT disconnect from this moment by scrolling through social media, checking your email, or answering texts - it can wait.
