Women, you need to wear a black dress or skirt and top. The top or dress should have at least a 3/4 length sleeve. If you wear a skirt and top, make sure the blacks match. Hose should be black, but not opaque (no tights). Shoes should be black and have a heel. Here are some examples of shoes that would be appropriate:
Notice that all these shoes have some kind of heel. The heel needn't be three inches tall. There just needs to be a heel of some kind.
This shoe is not appropriate because it is a flat and has no heel:
How will you know if you can stand for long periods of time in your chosen shoes? There's only one way--you need to start wearing them to rehearsals. Not only will this enable your feet to become accustomed to the shoes you've chosen, but if, after a few rehearsals, it's apparent that they just won't work, then you know you need to go find something else. I would recommend buying shoes on the large side of your size range because your feet will tend to swell a little. Also, there are inserts you can purchase for the ball of your foot to keep your toes from sliding too far forward inside your shoes. There are also gel inserts so you can be gellin' while you're singing!
Jewelry: No necklace, but earrings are okay.
Men, you need to wear dark pants and a long-sleeved, white shirt. The shirt needs to actually be white, which means you may need to go buy a new white shirt for the performances (Merry Christmas!). Your socks and shoes both need to be black.
