I, however, will expect my usual corsage.  

John - please be sure it is done properly this time.  Last concert it was
somewhat disappointing, a trifle limp with very little flair. 

It made me feel like I was hiding my light under a bushel -- and no one
wants that.

Regards,

-Jim

Good question, John.

I'm going to assume that the answer will be 'no' - and wear a plain white
dress shirt (buttons all the way in front).  Of course, the ladies may
likely have other styles which may appear appropriately "dressy"?   Others
will chime in, I'm sure.

I am thinking this should simplify things somewhat.   If I won't be wearing
a jacket, there is no need for Mrs. Rice to make me a corsage, either.

+1 to "no ties" ;)

What qualifies as a "shirt?" For example, is a white polo shirt a shirt?
(This is a serious question).
