Uniforms

 
All choir members are required to purchase their choir uniform as it is listed below. ALL parts of the uniform are the individual responsibility of the choir student. A well-groomed, neatly uniformed choir is essential for a truly professional and artistic experience. Choir uniform and appearance guidelines are at the discretion of the director. Be respectful of the guidelines to help foster a sense of pride in the group’s performance. Uniforms will be graded at the time of student check-in before each performance.
