Costumes

A costume makes an impact and sets the flavour and theme for a routine.  For example, wearing boots, jeans,  checked shirt and cowboy hat may be appropriate for a routine using country and western music, but it would be inappropriate in a routine using jazz or classical music.  

“Jungle greens” may be appropriate in a routine with a combat, escape or similar theme, but not in one reflecting a cabaret or jazz theme. 

The music for some routines, on the other hand, does not suggest a particular style of dress and in this case ‘themed ’attire would not be expected – though a ‘costume’ still would be.  

Costumes do not need to be expensive or elaborate.
