Concert Dress
The Connecticut Symphonic Band presents several different concert ‘looks’ at various performances venues. Below are the current dress codes for Members:
Standard Concert Dress –
❑ Gentlemen AND Ladies, BLACK button down dress shirt (not form fitting) open collar (no tie), black pants. Ladies have the option of a skirt below the knee. All, please wear black hose/socks and black shoes.
Special Afternoon & Evening Concerts –
❑ Men: Black Tuxedo, White Tie for evening performances, Black Tie for afternoon performances, black socks, black shoes
❑ Women: Black, no shoulder straps or strapless. Below knee. Long Sleeves with long dresses or skirts with black hose/socks, black shoes.
Outdoor, Morning or Casual Concerts –
❑ Men and Women: Black trousers, slacks or skirts. White Copen collar dress shirt.
(Holiday concerts will be discussed individually, as the venue will play a role in this.)
You would be surprised by how many semi-pro and pro orchestras and bands are doing this now. It is a more up to date look, a bit more casual and definitely more comfortable! Note the shirt is a dress shirt, NOT a polo, etc. For those that are worried about the cost of a black dress shirt, be assured you'll make it up on the tux dry cleaning within a season!
