Costumes
Prep students
All Prep students will need to bring their costume to the dress rehearsal day on Wednesday September 3rd. Please bring something to cover the costume (jacket) when they are eating. Ensure everything is labelled with your child's name.
On the performance evening, students should arrive in their costume.
Grade 3-6 students
On Tuesday, chorus students will be sent home with their costume. Please wear this costume to the dress rehearsal day. Ensure students bring a jacket or jumper, to cover their costume when they are eating.
On the performance evening, students should arrive in their costume with hair and makeup (if using completed). Please refer to the production handbook if you require further details.
A reminder that families need to provide the following for the costume:
Grade 3 and 4 - all students will need to provide their own white socks (long or short) and runners (any colour) for the performances.
Grade 5/6 students - If your child is wearing a school uniform for the production (in the chorus or in a main role) they will need to provide their own black shoes and white socks (long or short but must be visible). Black runners, school shoes, or simple black shoes are fine.
