So is the dress code semi-formal (suits and ties for men, dresses for women) as stated in the email from Julie Cadam on April 20th,is it casual (jeans and a tee-shirt) as stated on the website in the April 26th post or is it semi-casual (slacks and a polo or button down shirt) as suggested on the website in the April 26th post?
I think a clear definition would help us all. I have no preference as to what the dress code actually is, but I think that for $45, we deserve to know.

What is official is what is on the website. If you want to wear a suit and tie, great. Dress, great. Polo and khaki shorts, awesome. This is meant to be a CASUAL affair. We want everyone to be comfortable. It's not about one-upping each other, but about catching up with old friends and having a good time.
No matter what you're wearing.

The best thing to do is wear a suit and tie so you can one up others because you know they will be one uping you. That is the name of the game, reunion, time to one up. "Honey don't wear a polo, I want all the people I never talked to in high school to like me now and think I am successful." Meanwhile her daughter is knocked up by the neighbor boy living in the next trailer over, and there is a evection notice in the widow (looks like he is moving in), we have seen it a hundred times over and over!
Dress your worst, show up drunk, and leave in a cab bound for the 25 year reunion!!! C YA THEN

who are you people?! on upping each ohter??!!!! grow up! clearly 10 years showed no maturity on your part! mr t-boy and his smart azz comments are they really neccessary?! and you wanting women to show you skin? what in 10 years you couldn't get any elsewhere?! or porn sights weren't enough for you.... hmm? yes you are correct there will be doctors there as well as other professions, perhaps a mental health physican who can assist you because clearly you have gained no insight on communication skills. This commitee has busted their ass to show our classmates a good time, we certainly dont' need EXCUSE MY FRENCH, jackazzes like yourself (which is how your behaving by posting these messages) stirring up unnecessary trouble and drama. I know the commitee would appreciate it if you would just stop with the comments, stop stirring up the rumors and find some time to yourself to let go of your negative unresloved hurt feelings that stem back from high school making you feel like you need to prove a point........

and better yet if a negative attitude is all you have to bring to this reunion it's pry best that you dont' come then all those supposed people you didn't talk to back in high school wont' have to waste their time talking to you now because you clearly have nothing nice to say........ so do us all a favor, either get your attitude in check or don't come.

Take it easy Juicy, it is obvious that you are on the committee and you think you have put a lot of time and effort into this gig, and I bet you did. But I do not see anymore effort or time put in like what Jeremy Bingaman has done. My hat is off to him for that. If you read my comments you will see that they are ment to be funny, the anger came from you...you can tell in your typing. You typed it so fast to get it out there you didn't proof read it (what in 10 years you couldn't get any elsewhere?!)
You want me on that wall, you need me on that wall.
Juicy don't worry and don't get yourself worked up, I will buy you a drink Friday night to make up for any hard feelings.

T-boy- my favorite person, looks as though I just missed you! I am clam now..... I think your humor most people would take in the wrong context, if you were tyring to be funny, think of trying harder. As far as angry, yes you were correct there only because I'm sure for the commitee members it's not been an easy job setting up a 10 year reunion and the very least we can do as classmates is support that instead of acting so immature and rude. I'm sure your messages were not looked upon as a laughing matter and I'm sure members on the commitee as well as fellow classmates would agree. There are just some things that are better left unsaid.... no need in buying me a drink at the reunion, first off I don't know who you are, second I'm not a drinker but if you feel you must then i'll take a red-bull/cranberry juice. by the way care to share who you are? inquiring minds want to know..................

Tp and Juicy, it's nice to see you guys share an awkward hug and make up. That really made my day. TP - Thanks for the kudos for planning, but I respectfully can NOT take that sort of credit. We as a TEAM all worked very hard to bring this reunion to everyone. Azure Christensen (Eddy), Nate Sammler, Julie Cadam, Sara Coleman (Ripperger), Ted Van Deventer, and Kristen Fajen all deserve an equal amount of credit for their hard work. We just want everyone to have a great time regardless of who you may or may not have been friends with. That's what it's about: having a good time, chattin' about the old days. We all have a common bond that is Valley. That's why everyone is driving and flying in from all over the country to celebrate. Personally, I think it's gonna be a hell of a party.

Don't know who Juicy or TP are, but let's all relax a bit. As a member (though my involvement has been far less than others)of the committee, I for one thought tpoby's comments were meant in fun. Just remember mystery man or woman, that others don't always interpret things how you may have intended them to. Several members inparticular have spent countless hours working to make this weekend a good time, so while Juicy (whomever you are too) may seem to be overreacting, he/she also has a point that if you are simply wanting to poke fun at the event, you don't have to attend. As Jeremy's stated more than once in these posts, the weekend is meant for pleasure and socializing, both of which I hope everyone coming intends to do.

"Honey don't wear a polo, I want all the people I never talked to in high school to like me now and think I am successful. While this was meant to be a joke, I do think that this person does a good job of outlining why dress codes need to be clearly spelled out for occasions like this. The whole idea of stating the suggested dress code for an event is to make sure everyone is comfortable with the clothing they choose for the event. If the code is just "wear what you want," then anyone who happens to end up picking clothing outside of what a majority of people chose to wear will feel uncomfortable and not have the best time possible. I do appreciate the work the committee has put into this event and I am confident it will be a success. I don't want to step on any toes, but perhaps sending out a professional looking mass email to everyone attending stating that the informal dress code will be semi-casual (assuming that's what the committee intends the dress to be) and explaining what that means (http://www.answers.com/topic/semi-casual describes it well) would help clear this issue up. It doesn't seem like this would take much effort and I'm willing to bet many of the attendees would appreciate it. People are still able to dress outside the code if they want, but those of us who just want to know how a majority of the people will dress will feel more comfortable attending. I'm willing to put together an email like this if needed. I'm also glad to hear that everyone here is as clam as I am.
