- BLACK long sleeve dress shirt (LONG SLEEVE) 
- Black pants (no jeans)
- Dark dress shoes (no tennis shoes)
- Black socks/ appropriate hose
- Belt if needed
- Men: no ear rings
- Ladies have the option to wear a full length black dress if preferred (for example, choir uniform dress is perfect)Skirts are NO longer allowed.
 
Please look early for a long sleeve BLACK dress shirt.  These seem to be a little difficult to find in smaller sizes. If you don’t have any luck, let me know.  If you find a store with a good selection of smaller sizes, please let me know.  Many have had success at Super Target, Target (few), J.C. Penney, Walmart, and Kohls (few).  Larger sizes (collars) are ok.
