In order to
give a more uniform and polished appearance for our performers, each student
will be required to wear a designated outfit purchased or rented through the
CHORAL BOOSTERS. The choir fee for Artistic, Advances, Women’s A cappella, Men’s
A cappella this year is $45, which includes outfit rental, dress bag rental,
shoe rental, and CD fees. Every
student who pays their choir fee will receive a choir t-shirt. See below for Show Choir details. Students are
also responsible for the cleaning and care of their outfits through the entire
year. All outfits can be washed on gentle cycle. All outfits rented through the
boosters are to be returned to the choral room by Monday June 1st, 2015, 1st
semester outfits are due by January 12th. If a student is unable to provide the
resources for an outfit his or her guardian may discuss this in confidence with
the choral director. All STUDENTS WILL
HAVE AN OUTFIT FOR PERFORMANCES. Please fill out the attached form and turn it
into the choral director with outfit fee by Friday, Sept. 5th.
Outfit Contract: Students will sign a
contract for every choir item that is assigned to them.
Uniform and Shoe Closet
The Uniform
Closet is organized and clean. Only the Choir director, Uniform Manager,
and the Uniform parent are allowed in the closet. If a student needs to borrow an item from
the uniform closet, he or she will need to find one of the above named persons
