Young gentlemen should wear a nice dress shirt, �Docker� style khakis (any color is fine and you can buy them at Walmart or Bealls), and a nice pair of shoes � no tennis shoes. Young ladies may wear a nice dress, pants suit, or a skirt and top. Please make sure that your dress or skirt is close to knee length and wear comfortable dress shoes, avoid wearing shoes with thin heels. No blue jeans or tennis shoes are allowed.
