Everything worn must be a 'true' black colour therefore no faded black or items that have coloured stitching). No part of your Choir uniform can have colour, other than the logo on your Choir t-shirt or hoodie : )

IF WEARING TIGHTS

If wearing a skirt pleasure ensure to wear black tights.

SHOES

If wearing shoes that expose part of your foot please ensure that you wear black socks = no exposed skin in those places. No open toe shoes. Your black shoes must be ALL black therefore no coloured shoe laces, stitching or soles.

As we perform to a professional level, we are extremely strict about our performance attire... we need to look as good as we sound lovelies! If you turn up to a Dress Rehearsal or Performance not in your full performance attire, you cannot perform. No exceptions lovelies!

WE WOULD PREFER NO COATS / BUT NOT REQUIREMENT

As we want everyone to look unified and for the WEMC logo to be seen, we'd love for as many singers as possible to please not wear coats.

We'd really prefer if you can please layer up and not wear coats for the actual performance. Of course still wearing black gloves, black scarfs & black hats etc.

We will just need to bring those not wearing coats to the front & have those wearing coats towards the back. But remember, as we're performing on the steps, everyone will be seen clearly and can see the Musical Director : ) All good!
