From Mrs. Fothergill
The fittings for concert wear will be completed this coming week. Students will be issued a tuxedo (pants, jacket, and bow tie) or a black floor-length gown. If your student is wearing a gown, they will need to wear black, closed-toe shoes. If your student is wearing a tuxedo, they will need to provide their own white dress shirt, tall black socks, and solid black dress shoes. Men's white dress shirts can be found at Walmart or ordered from Amazon. Your student will dress in their concert wear on April 1st, so thank you for making sure your student is prepared before that date. (Uniforms will stay at school)
