DRESS CODE:
The length of ALL shorts worn on the tour must be to the girl's fingertips or longer. ABSOLUTELY NO SHORT SHORTS. If you appear in anything above your fingertips, you will have to return to your room and change.
Bathing suits worn on tour must be either a one-piece suit or a modest 2-piece suit. NO string bikinis! If you have doubts about whether or not it is appropriate, it probably isn't! Choose something more conservative.
Everyone's hair will be worn pulled back from the face at all times. No one's hair will be worn down unless it is too short to pull back into a ponytail. You will need to use black bands to pull your hair back. You may wear it pulled up on top of your head or at the base of your neck.
WARDROBE NOTES:
CGC polo and T-shirts will be issued (loaned) to tour choir members. These will need to be returned at the end of tour. The tour company is also giving each person a T-shirt that will be issued at a later date; you get to keep this one! We have also order two additional tour T-shirts for everyone going on tour for a cost of $15 for both. You will get to keep these as well.
Grace Moore girls will NOT need pearls for this trip.
Your black concert dress should be placed on a hanger and covered with a dry cleaning bag. Fold it carefully and pack it last in your suitcase, and hang it up immediately when you get in your hotel room.
Every choir member will need a red pullover. If you do not have one, they may be pruchased for $20. Orders must be submitted by June 8.
Chaperone attire: Any extras CGC shirts may be issued to chaperones. It is usually recommended that all chaperones wear the same color of clothing as the girls for easy identification by everyone. Chaperones should also remember to bring attire for any church service.
REMEMBER:
* black shoes for concert
* extra (spare) black sheer knee highs or pantyhose
* CLEAN predominately white tennis shoes
* white socks for every day
* blue jeans, blue jean shorts, khaki slacks, khaki shorts

SUGGESTIONS:
Label all clothes with your name; we're all bringing the same things!
Use tape to mark all CGC clothes to be returned.
Put soiled clothes in a laundry bag daily.
Pack any purchases during tour in your suitcase on the day of purchase to
eliminate confusion with others in your room.
