dress code for the music team
02-08-2007, 09:44 AM
Ah yes, the dreaded "dress code" topic!
I remember a few years ago on the worship list I'm on, someone brought up the topic of drummers not wearing shorts on the platform. I still can't quite wrap my mind around that one. I had a drummer who wore shorts and there was never an issue. Still don't quite get it--and don't want to let my mind wander too much down that road.
I would imagine that all would agree that worship teams--whatever that means to us individually, should dress appropriately, a word which makes me shudder, as there is nothing much "appropriate" in me. However I mean, not too much skin showing--meaning, women no cleavage, not too much leg. . .etc. Men are not free of cautioning here--no tight jeans! Nothing that would cause people to have attention on you and not God.
My "team" consists of myself and a wonderful girl, who plays djembe. One day she wore a skirt--long jean, not short or anything. . . .but I found that she had a hard time with the djembe as she had to balance it off to her side instead of between her knees. I've since asked her not to wear skirts again.
We are a very informal church, jeans are the typical pant worn. Some wear skirts, one guy wears a tie. But no, no dress code in our church. Have I told you lately how much I LOVE our church?
Blessings.
Moe.
