It's Christmastime!
Reminder: What to wear for the Christmas Concert
The theme for this year's Christmas Concert on Thursday, December 14, is Christmas Memories. All students should come in appropriate concert attire:
Girls: Appropriate party dress with dress shoes. Because students are moving on stage and seated playing instruments, dresses should be modest in length—no formals, strapless, or spaghetti straps. Shoes should be flats or heels that are no more than 2 inches in height.
Boys: White or solid-colored dress shirt, tie or bow tie, slacks, and dress shoes. Jackets are optional.
If you'd like to order a recording of the concert, download this form.
