<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Please note some important information below. You should receive this info
<BR>via a handout that went out to chorus kids today (also men's/women's chorus
<BR>only - if I could find them!).
<BR>One extra thing - put the student's NAME on their clothing, since everyone's
<BR>will be identical!

<BR><B>For those students who do not yet have an outfit- they are ordered and
<BR>are supposed to show up by Mon. 4/3</B>
<BR>
<BR>Call Sue McHugh @ 371-0118 with questions about outfits
<BR>
<BR> After measurings, fittings, backorders, re-orders, a general state
<BR>of confusion, and an unfortunate seamstress' bout of arthritis, it
<BR>looks likely that all the students WILL have a black dress or tux for
<BR>the performance.
<BR>
<BR> One caveat in this is that almost all the dresses and pants need
<BR>to be shortened between now and April 6! For girls' parents, you may
<BR>find that the dress bodice needs altering (although for this concert
<BR>you may wish to just do a little pinning, tucking, or taping if that
<BR>will work). We know duct tape works really well on pant hems, and
<BR>probably could temporarily hold up dress hems as well!
<BR>
<BR> If you are handy at sewing, great! If not, you will need to
<BR>bring the outfit to a tailor as soon as possible.
<BR>
<BR> If this won't work, we will have seamstresses at the high school
<BR>next Monday (4/2) from 7:00-9:00 pm in Room A6, and Tuesday (4/3)
<BR>from 3:00-5:30. They will do pants or dress hems for $10, and dress
<BR>alterations for $15. <B>BRING THE OUTFIT, YOUR STUDENT WITH CORRECT
<BR>(BLACK) SHOES, AND CASH</B>! Measurements will be done and the outfits
<BR>returned by April 6. <B>If there is anyone out there who is capable and could
<BR>help out with hemming/tailoring/ironing, please call me! </B>On the Friday
<BR>afternoon of the concert, from 2:00-4:00 we will have the ironing board(s)
<BR>set up for last-minute touch-ups.
<BR>
<BR>"The Outfits" has been a hectic but rewarding experience, and we will
<BR>all be proud to hear and see these kids perform next Friday! If you haven't
<BR>heard them, plan to go to the concert at Wellesley - wait until you
<BR>hear "Saul" - wow!
