"Refined Casual" is an excellent phrase for the minimum dress standard required!

Mac .... My sentiments exactly ... Many decades ago the sax player in our group said that as far as he was concerned he never played a wedding or a dinner party ... In his mind he was always on stage in Vegas !!! ... When I go to perform I do not want to be thinking the same as I do when working the day job ... I need to BE a PERFORMER ... How I dress is a big part of that ... even to the point that I get to the site of the gig (job ), get the gear set up, and THEN change into the 'performance' outfit ...changes the whole psyche ...

kbrkr ... I get the 'fancy' stuff at various places... formal wear stores, boutiques, department stores, etc. ... sometimes a shirt you might not think of wearing otherwise will be perfect for performing, especially if 'toned down' a bit with a solid vest as Pro said ... after all, I think the public expects us to be a little 'different' .....
