This is not really a musical related question but I thought the best place to post for the right answer. We will be attending the 8pm show tonight and will be our first time to this type of venue....what is the proper dress attire..please do not say tux because I do not own one and don't have time to rent. Thanks.

Phatmon,

I would say for an evening concert, most of us middle age types dress like you might for a non-Easter church service. The younger folk are a bit more casual but not much. I have to say that I've seen a wide variety of dress for our evening shows. Dress like you're meeting your son/daughter's future in-laws!

Tuxes and such are usually just for the opening night of the season, these days. Enjoy the show and if you hurry back, you might get to catch and greet Gary Bordner.

I agree with Manny on the clothing issue...

I went to the concert Friday night, IT WAS AWSOME. the Shostakovitch piano concerto was amasing Gary Bordner does an amasing job on the Trumpet part and the piano player also is great. For me, the coolest thing was seeing my teacher solo. It really made me want to work harder at playing trumpet. I got to talk to Gary doring intermision. he asked me if I wanted to play the betoveen for him.

HAVE FUN

Thanks for the replys, A little more formal than Dockers and a shirt I guess, I do own a suit for occasions like Minnesota Zephyr, and Sunday Mass so I will go with that. We are really excited about attending!!!

Tim, I also went to the Shost Piano Concerto. I don't know if there was more than one performance or if we just didn't run into eachother...too bad. If you have a chance, tell Gary that he did a great job. (He might not remember me; we had a lesson a month or two ago.)
