Look for clothes that will line-dry quickly and are wrinkle free or resistant. Microfiber clothing is great.

Choose things that will mix and match and that you can wear in layers.

Pick comfortable clothing. Most of the time you will be wearing shorts and short sleeve shirts/blouses.  Plan to dress in layers for cooler weather.

Restrictions:

• No Denim. (Denim is OK at the college, but not in Europe)
• Nothing with offensive language or pictures.
• No clothing that shows bare midriffs or excessive cleavage.
• No mini skirts or short shorts. (Ladies – we will not be seeing your rear end!)
• No low-rider pants (Gentlemen- we will not be seeing your boxer shorts!)
• No flip-flops or flimsy sandals. (We do A LOT of walking on cobblestones, gravel and dirt paths.  Many foot injuries have occurred because of poor choices of footwear.)

In general, clothing should be neat, and modest.   The directors will have you change your clothing if they feel it is inappropriate. So don’t waste valuable luggage space.  If you would have second thoughts wearing a piece of clothing in front of your grandparents, leave it home.

Any tie will do – it should be red, white and blue or at least red and blue.  Design is not an issue.

It can be any flag red blazer.  AMA will have suggestions in one of the newsletters.
I also recommend looking at sales at you local department store, Goodwill or Salvation Army Thrift shops, or, if someone from your school has gone on tour previously, they may be willing to part with theirs.  (Many blazers have seen repeated tours!)

We do A LOT of walking, much of it on gravel, dirt or cobblestones, so sandals and flip flops don’t cut it.  In fact we’ve had to deal with numerous foot injuries in the past because of inappropriate footwear.

Bring good supportive and comfortable footwear on tour.  You will be glad you did.

There are washing machines and dryers in the dorm, so you can do a load of laundry after the recording session.

There is a charge for using them, and you will need to supply your own soap (which you will already have for washing clothes while on tour.)
