Costume Update

ALL GIRLS will need:
-a black pair of calf-length leggings (they should hit you about halfway between your ankle and your knee
-a black camisole or tank top to wear underneath your costumes
-a black pair of flat shoes that need to stay on while you are dancing.  The shoes can be jazz shoes or ballet slippers or black slip-ons.  It is okay if there is a small decoration on the shoe like a flower or a bow but the shoes need to be quiet - no clicking noise!   

ALL BOYS will need:
-a black pair of slacks/pants.  We may hem these up a few inches to make more of an Asian "floods" look.  There are some pairs of black slacks in the Green Room.  Feel free to check these out before purchasing. 
-a black pair of flat shoes. These need to stay on while you are dancing and also make no noise.  A jazz-type shoe would be preferred instead of something with laces.  Since we may be hemming your pants up, your shoes will be visible.
-a black t-shirt to wear underneath your costume.

ALL CAST will need:
-a zippered garment bag with their name on it.
-some sort of bin or smaller laundry basket with their name on it.  This will be used to keep all personal belongings in plus items used for the show (wigs, hair pins, shoes, tights, etc).  With 40 kids in the cast, students will need a place to put all of their "stuff" in.  All students should utilize this, so that things are not left on green room counter tops, floors, or in the library.  All items will stay in the garment bags and laundry bins - no exceptions. 

Please stay posted for future needs.  We are having an UPDATED PARENT MEETING to give more details about tech week, make-up, costumes and volunteer responsibilities for show week on MONDAY, January 31st from 5:00 - 7:00.  This is an all cast rehearsal.  Our coordinators will be running this meeting while I am running rehearsal upstairs with the kids.  Please stay tuned for more details!
