INFORMAL CDCC T-SHIRTS If this is your singer’s 1st year in CDCC, your singer will be bringing home a T-shirt at the end of camp with their choir’s logo. As the season progresses, this T-shirt is what we are referring to when we ask that the choir wear their “Informal Uniform.” Singers may wear these shirts any time--we want them to be seen around the community! We do ask that they remember they are representing CDCC when wearing the shirt. Note: You singer will receive one free shirt. If it is lost or damaged, you will need to purchase a new one. At the beginning of the season they will have the option to request a new one if they have outgrown or outworn their shirt.
