• Skirts and dresses should not be excessively revealing
• Clothing should not be torn or tattered
• Hats, sunglasses, and headbands are never allowed
• Flip flops are not appropriate
• T-shirts with large graphics are generally inappropriate

In order to maintain the integrity and professionalism of the program, persons not complying with the dress will not be permitted to participate.
