performance attire
uniform ordering instructions
This new uniform makes ordering easier for parents, easier for families to acquire, and hopefully somewhat less expensive. All members of Bel Canto Singers, Talisman, Troubadour, and the high school ensembles, Bridge City Singers/Headwaters, are required to have a performance uniform.
*Members are responsible for ordering their own uniforms independently with the uniform company.
Most garments are currently IN STOCK and ship within 1 - 2 days after the order is placed; however, you are encouraged to place your order ASAP as the global supply chain remains fragile, and unexpected delays may affect delivery timeframes.
Thank you.

rehearsal/casual performance uniform
For casual performances, the PYC blue polo shirt is worn with plain black pants, black socks or black knee highs/tights, and flat black dress shoes. For weekly rehearsals, the expectation is for singers to arrive wearing their polo shirts (singers may wear regular pants or slacks i.e., school clothes, or shorts when weather appropriate). Black slacks are only required for the occasion of a casual performance when formal attire is not requested.
All members of Bel Canto Singers, Talisman, and Troubadour are required to have a PYC polo shirt to wear to weekly rehearsals (one per choir the child participates in throughout their time at PYC). New singers will receive a complimentary polo shirt upon enrolment. If a family must purchase a polo at any other time, they are generally in stock through the PYC Office and may be purchased for $20 by contacting Nicol Lachimia Wilzer, Program Manager, at nicol@pittsburghyouthchorus.org or 412-281-4790.
