Frequently Asked Questions

Why do the musicians wear formal black clothes?

Frequently Asked Questions - Get Ready - Austin Symphony
This is a long tradition that started a few centuries ago. Sometimes musicians dress a little more casually. But they still try to look uniform, so that the audience can concentrate on the music. Soloists are the exception: they often dress differently, because they are the focus of attention.

Why do the musicians always wear black?

FAQs - Christchurch Symphony
Because part of the pleasure of watching an orchestra is its uniformity (check out all the violin bows moving in the same direction). The experience is largely about the sound, so it's appropriate that the members of the orchestra blend visually as well. For the more relaxed concerts such as the Proms, the men in the orchestra wear white jackets.

Why do orchestras wear such formal clothes?

FAQs
many times in the recent past, orchestras have tried different forms of dress for symphony concerts, attempting to change the perhaps old-fashioned image for a more modern and 'with-it' look. Black polo necks, patterned dresses (for the ladies, of course!), coloured shirts for everyone- all have been tried.

How do I keep my black clothes black?

FAQ
Black clothes, particularly the cheaper T-shirts, can lose their colour very quickly if machine washed frequently and become a washed- out grey. The two most important factors when washing black clothes are detergent and heat. But before you even consider how to wash an item, read the label. Bucket with number: Indicates maximum machine wash temperature in Celsius. Ignore this and the item may shrink or go grey very quickly. Bucket with hand: Do not machine wash; hand wash only.

I don't have expensive formal clothes, what is acceptable wear?

CRUISE WHOLESALE - Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: Another myth. In the bygone cruise era, yes, tuxedos and formal gowns were expected for dining and evening functions. You could take a dinner jacket or cocktail gown, but this is no longer a mandate in modern cruising. We would recommend bringing a dark suit and tie for the men and a cocktail dress for the ladies for only the fanciest of evening occasions. Pack what you would normally take to any vacation resort and you'll be fine.

What kind of clothes should I wear?

Frequently Asked Questions
When practicing in Cowling, your normal street clothes should be just fine, as long as you can comfortably move, stretch, and spin in them. Dancing is athletic, especially at fast speeds, so you should consider clothing that will keep you cool if you're planning to tear up the floor. For more formal events on campus, such as Midwinter Ball or Spring Swing, you obviously want to wear your swankiest duds. However, keep a few things in mind.

What clothes should I wear?

Frequently Asked Questions
Wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty or ripped. Old jeans and a short sleeved T-shirt work fine. Some people prefer a long-sleeved overshirt, but note that it is very warm in the cave (72? F and very humid). Boot are best, old sneakers will work. No sandals! Caving can be very hard on clothing. Expect to get significant wear and/or tears. Maple Run is a little harder on clothing than Whirlpool Cave. Don't wear jewelry.

Why does my child want to wear the same clothes all the time?

Center for the Study of Autism
Stiff scratching clothes or wool against my skin is sandpaper ripping off raw nerve endings. I am not able to tolerate scratching clothes. Autistic children will be most comfortable with soft cotton against their skin. New underwear and shirts will be more comfortable if they are washed several times. It is often best to avoid spray starch or fabric softeners that are placed in the dryer. Some children are allergic to them.

Freeman Safaris Frequently Asked Questions
Bush life is hard wearing, and as we wash daily in camp (remember all washing and ironing is done for you and is free!), you will need far less than you imagine. Please spend some time reading the Personal Kit information within the Tips section of this site. The only other point I would add is to ensure you split your clothes between bags, so if one goes astray at the airport you will have enough to start (airlines don't generally deliver to the bush!).

FAQ
SCA members usually make their own garb, although sometimes you can barter or trade services to have someone make you simple garb. There are also merchants at many events who sell garb. For women, a plain-colored long skirt and a peasant-type blouse will serve. A length of white cloth, can make a veil to hide modern hair. For men, try plain trousers or sweatpants (not jeans), and a peasant-style shirt that is not tucked in. A cloak, even one made of a blanket, can hide modern clothes.

Salsa Machine (Hertfordshire) - FAQs.
Smart casual: It doesn't really matter what you wear to dance in as long as you can move your limbs easily. Most people wear smart-casual. Very baggy upper clothing can get in the way of arm and hand coordination, and can get caught by fingers as you move through turn patterns. Skirts that drag on the floor are a total nightmare for the guys! Above all wear something light as you can get quite warm dancing. Jewelry: Well I've had some interesting mishaps, but nothing serious.
