Concert attire information

As promised, here is the information regarding concert attire.  Attire should be paid for the night it is fitted.  The fees are listed below. If you have questions or concerns, we will offer confidential payment counseling during our parent/student meeting.

Please, if at all possible, do your measurements before you come to the meeting! It is very awkward for students to have other parents measuring them -- not to mention it will greatly speed up the process for everyone.  Attached are all the forms and a great video to help with measurements. (Note: Disregard the ordering information on the video; you should use this only for the measuring information!)  Please bring the completed forms with you to the meeting.


Pricing:
Overture and Symphony dress = $72
Chamber dress and pin =  $92 (pin only, $9)
(A limited number of pre-owned dresses will be available at a reduced price.)

*The $80 tux deposit is a one-time fee that will be refunded when the student leaves the Orchestra and has returned the full tuxedo in good condition. Once the tuxedo has been checked in, your deposit will be sent back to you automatically.

Alterations are the student’s responsibility prior to the first concert.
With dresses, students are required to wear black closed-toe shoes and keep jewelry to a minimum.  Dresses should be floor length. Tuxedos must be worn with black dress shoes and black socks.  Black athletic shoes or white socks are not acceptable. Shirts must be clean and not wrinkled.

Appropriate shoes must be obtained by the student.
