Costumes

Almost everyone should have received their costumes by now. A few parents have been asking about costume pieces as some pieces were made and some have to be provided by you. In preparation for Tuesday's dress rehearsal, here's a list of all the costumes for each grade and what is needed:

• 1st and 2nd Grade:
  
  PETER PAN: Provided by the seamstress was a pair of brown pants, a green tunic with leaves, a (black?) belt, and a set of brown shoe covers to go over top of the students regular shoes. Only shoes do you need to provide. Should be black ones that they may also use for the Sound of Music.
  
  SOUND OF MUSIC: Dresses (girls) and liederhosen (boys) were provided. I believe the boys received a tshirt that goes under the liederhosen, or perhaps it is already sewed into it. The only thing you need to provide are black shoes.

• 3rd Grade:
  
  GREASE: Boys were provided with a black "leather" jacket. You must provide your own plain black pants. I think there was a white t-shirt included for Oliver so please wear this under your jacket as well. If there wasn't one provided, please bring a plain white t-shirt from home to wear underneath. Girls were given a poodle skirt and 2 scarves. One scarf should be worn around neck. The other in their hair (ponytails). Girls also should wear the white shirt from Oliver with their skirts or else bring a plain white tshirt from home. You need to wear your own black shoes!
  
  OLIVER: tops and bottoms were provided. I believe there is also a white shirt to wear under the top vest. Shoes should be the same black shoes from Grease.

• 4th and 5th Grade:
  
  ANNIE: Some sort of dress was provided. Some also came with aprons. Each child also has a scarf to wear on their head (like a bandana). Your own shoes should be provided. Preferably black but any old looking shoes would also do.
  
  KIDS: Nothing was provided by the seamstress. All of this costume needs to be provided by you. Remember that I want you to look like older women. I don't want 4th and 5th graders that look like 4th and 5th graders in pretty dresses. I want old ladies! Think of gradmas. That's what I REALLY want! Make sure to wear shoes you can dance in - NOT high heels that you can't even walk in!
  
  DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND: You will be given long red gloves, as well as a black hat, and a diamond ring (don't lose the ring as its small and we don't have more!). YOU need to provide your own black pants (or tights) and black tank top (or leotard). I don't want big baggy t-shirts or pants. Please make sure the clothes fit tight to your body.
  
  POPULAR:
  Black skirts have been provided. The tu-tu part goes underneath (although we'll try it at the dress rehearsal and see if maybe that part looks better on the top). Leggings will also be provided. You will get those Monday. YOU need to provide your own coloured shirt on top. This shirt should be PLAIN! No patterns or pictures. SOLID colour only! Any colour is fine (pink, blue, green, purple, etc.). Again, it should be tight-fitting and preferably a tank top (no sleeves).

• Transitional Actors:
  
  You will be wearing all black unless you come straight from performing your number, in which case you would be wearing your costume.
