Uniforms: All students in the choral department must have a uniform that will be worn at various times throughout the year for festivals and concerts. If a student graduates, or does not continue in the program, they may sell their uniform to an in-coming student. Not having the correct concert attire is grounds for not being allowed to perform.
It is important for our choir to look professional every time we sing. How well a choir looks gives a huge and impacting first impression to an audience of peers and adjudicators. Therefore, appearance guidelines are taken seriously and each student will be checked before a performance by a section leader, Uniform Guru, or officer to make sure they meet the following guidelines:

Care of Chorus Uniforms:
Tuxes:
1. Tuxedos must be dry cleaned. Do not put in washer or dryer.
2. If a spot gets on it, wipe with a damp clean cloth and let air dry.
3. May be ironed with steam on wool setting. Do not set iron to cotton, you will scorch the tuxedo.
4. Tuxedo white shirt may be laundered, in fact we encourage it. Bleach is okay. Wash with other whites, do not wash with dark clothes.
5. Do not alter or hem the tuxedos, we have a professional for that.
6. Never use hemming tape on uniform hems and never cut the pant legs.
7. If any buttons, hems, or holes appear or disappear from tuxedos, please let your chorus teacher know immediately and it will be taken care of.
8. If during the course of the year, you out-grow your tuxedo, please let Mrs. White-Rider know and you will be issued a newly fitted one.
