Each ensemble has a dress code for all performances/photos. Students dressed inappropriately will not be included in group photos. If you have a question about whether or not an outfit is appropriate or will meet the dress code, bring the outfit to rehearsal well in advance of the time you need to wear it and get it approved by your group chairman. (For convenience and economy, touring students should have skirts, blouses, pants, etc. that are washable, don’t need to be ironed and are easy to pack.) PYS has a concert dress clothes exchange. See Stacey Page (602) 242-1077.
Official Phoenix Youth Symphony Shirts are to be worn for all tours, clinics, joint or special rehearsals (as instructed) and any informal performance. The PYS Shirts must be ordered in advance from Mrs. Page for $18.
