Re: Dress Code for everyone at a Swing Convention for a specific time frame - Thoughts?

Thoughts of an event administering a Dress Code for everyone in attendance?

Start with the staff. Impose your dress code on the judges, DJs,
emcee, volunteers, photographer, video guy, etc. Explain it before you
hire them. That might be enough to "inspire" the rest of the customers
to dress up.

You can "encourage" the paying customers to dress up...but avoid making
it manditory.

Bring back the idea of competitors dressing for awards. Again - unless
you're willing to go as far as "must be present and dressed up to win"
- make a dress code a guideline only.

Would your opinion differ if the Dress Code was for 1 evening instead of
both evenings? Would your opinion differ if the Dress Code was communicated
prior to any Tickets being sold or not?

Announcing a "manditory" dress code after the ticket is sold is not
acceptable. Announcing at the event would be completely wrong.

What's your plan for someone who loses their luggage?
