3. Parents are reminded that students are responsible for the care and cleaning of their choral outfits. Please make sure all choral outfits are cleaned and pressed before each performance.

The only exception is the men's suit. The suits need dry cleaned.

4. We need water donations for our upcoming concerts and performances. Please email Mrs. R if you can donate a case of water.
