Contract for Student Concert Attire

Please read thoroughly as you and your student are fully

responsible for all information included
During this school year, your student will be assigned a specific numbered uniform for concert attire. If,
due to budget issues, a uniform is not available, the student will be given specific guidelines for attire at
concerts. The following contract outlines those expectations and is required to be signed by both the
student and a parent/guardian before the student can wear the uniform to perform. Any lapse in the
meeting of expectations of this contract could result in a fee for repairs, replacement of the uniform on the
students Bookstore account, or the students inability to perform while out of uniform.
Expectations for Uniform Upkeep:
1. All hemming needs to be done by the student or an individual who sews. The student is
responsible to get this hemming done. The length of all hems is designed to increase the
unified appearance of the group. Hemming is to be done BY HAND no machines, glue,
or tape! Any uniform found to be damaged by the hemming process will be charged the
amount for a new uniform!
2. The choral uniform will not be altered in any way without Directors pre-approval.
These approved alterations will be completed by the director or select volunteers. Elastic grip
bands will be provided for female students if needed.
3. Cleaning the uniform is the students responsibility before turning it in. For students who wear
black dresses and robes, a dry cleaning receipt is required for full fulfillment of this contract.
Without a receipt it will be assumed the uniform was not cleaned and the student will be
charged a $50 cleaning fee. All uniforms are due back by the Friday before exams!
a. All uniforms from Enchanted and Knights Voices (guys included) will be expected to be
washed after every performance. Upon return, all uniforms will be inspected. If not
washed, the student will be charged a $50 cleaning fee.
b. Choral robes are not to be dry-cleaned, but simply turned in. They get dry-cleaned
every 5 years since no skin should be touching the gowns. A majority of the robes were
cleaned at the end of 2013 school year.
c. All black choral dresses are to be dry cleaned!
Uniform Notes:
1. Students will need a plain, cotton, black t-shirt (think Hanes style Kmart usually sells
these types of t-shirts inexpensively) and black dress pants. No skinny jeans, jeans, sweats,
shorts full length dress pants.
a. The individualizing part of the black outfit is a belt any belt (without chains please) is
completely allowed. Sparkly, iridescent, leather, plastic, hologram, neon, metal-studded
anything!
b. Black dress pants can be a bit expensive, but its a staple for every young adults
wardrobe as they set out finding jobs.
2. Students who wear choral robes must have black dress pants as well to wear under their robes.
The purpose of the unified attire of a choir or chorus is to help them appear as professional as possible.
Therefore, each student expected to meet certain requirements regarding their appearance. These
expectations have been thoroughly explained during classroom discussion and are also listed below. Any
lapse in meeting these requirements can result in any of the following: removal of violation prior to the
concert, uniform violation detention, or a zero for the performance if the infraction is severe enough to not
be allowed on stage.
Expectations for Concert Appearance:
1. Jewelry
a. All hoops in the ears are limited to 1 inch in diameter. Chandelier earrings longer than 1
inch or wider than inch are prohibited. Any spacers or gauged out earrings need to
be minimal in appearance (i.e. no talons or hollow hoops) as well as black, silver, gold,
or white in color.
b. Any obvious facial piercings will be expected to be taken out for the concert.
c. Necklaces are to be delicate and thin as well as charms small and classy. Students are
to wear only one chain as well. The idea is for the necklaces not to be eye-catching and
obvious from the audience.
d. Bracelets and rings are also expected to be few in number and not huge. No
rubber/jelly, bead, or string bracelets allowed.
2. Shoes
a. Female
i. Shoes are to be solid black. If the shoes happen to be clear anywhere, the ladies

there is a back strap to the shoe.
ii. No flip flops, tennis shoes, or boots are allowed.
iii. Heels are to be no taller than two inches. Standing in heels taller than two
inches on risers is uncomfortable and will cause the ladies to lock their knees
(which may cause fainting) or to stand with improper posture (preventing them
from giving their best performances).

i. Shoes are expected to be solid black. Laces on dresses shoes must be black and
tied.
