• Costumes must be decent and appropriate in nature and content. Costumes that carry a sexual, vulgar or offensive message, or reference the use of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, gambling, or gang affiliation will not be permitted.
• Masks that cover all or part of the face are not to be worn.
• It is understood that the chaperones, in consultation with the conference staff, may restrict appearance and attire with special consideration for safety, health or other issues that may create a disruption to other conference participants.
