Uniforms

Our choir’s appearance, as well as its sound, is important in presenting a professional and artistic performance. Members must wear the complete and correct uniform for performances and adhere to performance appearance policy.

Performance Appearance Policy

  • The choir uniform should fit properly and be clean, pressed, and in good repair.
  • Hair should be groomed away from the face.  Barrettes, narrow headbands, and elastic bands that match hair color may be used. However, please refrain from using colorful bows, ribbons, barrettes, or noticeable ornamentation.
  • Make-up and jewelry should not be noticeable. Stud earrings will be allowed (no more than two per ear).
  • Our goal is to look unified and professional. Final appearance decisions are at the discretion of the Directors and Administrative Director.

Concert Dress

CIYC will purchase logo t-shirts for all singers who need one after registration is complete.

Music Makers singers’ uniforms for concerts will be the CIYC logo t-shirts and black long bottoms provided by each family (can be pants, leggings, or skirt/shorts with leggings) and black shoes.

Concert Choir singers' uniforms for concerts will be a white, collared, button-up long-sleeved shirt and black long bottoms provided by each family (can be pants, leggings, or skirt/shorts with leggings) and black shoes. Each singer will need a red vest provided by CIYC than can be purchased for $17.

Chamber Choir and Youth Chorale’s uniform will be an all black outfit of each singer’s choosing.  Singers may wear the CIYC dress (purchased from CIYC) or another formal all black outfit. Bottoms should be long (skirts above the ankle need black tights/leggings), pants are appropriate, and shoes must be black.  

Casual Uniforms

Each singer who registers for CIYC will be given a red CIYC logo t-shirt. Singers may be asked to wear these CIYC logo t-shirts for select rehearsals, and whenever else they would like to just for fun. These shirts will be part of the Music Makers and Concert Choir uniform.

You will select a size for your singer's shirt as part of their registration form.  We find the shirts run a little bit small, so please plan accordingly.

If you would like to help us defray the cost of the shirts, you can submit a donation of $10 to cover the cost of your child's shirt: https://www.ciycsings.org/make-a-payment/
