SANTA BARBARA YOUTH SYMPHONY
APPROVED CONCERT DRESS

GIRLS

· Black Tops with sleeves must cover waistbands and should be tucked in unless they are knit. This means that spaghetti straps and bare midriffs are not acceptable. The YS has some acceptable knit tops for $15.00 or you may wear your own if it is similar.

· Black dress slacks or long black skirt. Unacceptable are tights, leggings, short skirts, denim jeans and hip huggers. Skirts must completely cover knees when the girls are sitting.

· Dark stockings.

· Black shoes instead of beach flip-flops.

BOYS

· White dress shirt, long dark tie.
· Dark jacket and trousers.
· Black shoes and dark socks. Black tennis shoes are not an approved substitute.

Parents! It isn’t necessary to purchase expensive outfits. The audience can only tell that they are wearing black, they can’t tell if it came from a thrift shop, Wall-mart, K-Mart or the most expensive shop in town!

Jan Gilbert has some small jackets and two pairs of girls slacks and one long skirt that can be borrowed. Call her at 967-0781.

The Youth Symphony fully intends to enforce the above dress requirements.
