Uniform Fitting on Thursday, September 24th
Orchestra Uniform Fitting on Thursday, September 24th
In order for our orchestra to maintain a professional look when performing, each student must purchase an orchestra uniform. Informal uniforms of black orchestra knit polo and khaki pants (or skirt) will be worn for events such as Senior Project performances, fundraising events, and any orchestra field trips. Formal uniforms will be worn at all formal concert events.
Our young ladies will wear full-length black dresses and the young men will wear black tuxedos with black bowties and cummerbunds.
Boys will wear a standard tux with adjustable-waist pants. The COST of $135.00 includes pants, coat, shirt, cummerbund, bowtie, cufflinks, and button covers. Each tux will be fitted to the student and delivered in a hanging bag. If your student already owns a tux with black cummerbund and bowtie, then no purchase is necessary. Boys must wear black shoes and sock as part of the uniform.
Girls will wear formal dresses. It has an empire waist which is flattering to any body type and is made of a machine washable material that needs no ironing! It also will be fitted to each student and delivered in a hanging bag. The COST is $85.00. Girls must wear black shoes and nylons as part of the uniform.
The informal black orchestra knit polo shirt is included with the purchase of tuxedos and dresses. Khaki pants must be purchased separately.
The tuxes and full-length dresses will be the Hillgrove Orchestra standard uniform for years to come, therefore, seniors could possibly offer their uniform for sale to incoming students.
Kim King from STA Apparel will come to Hillgrove in on Thursday, September 24th to fit students for tuxes and dresses. For the fitting, please have your student to wear something fitted, like a t-shirt, so that he/she can be measured. Kim will have coats (he will measure for pants) and different dress sizes to try over clothing. Uniforms will be delivered prior to the Fall Concert.
Boys Uniform Cost – $135.00 Girls Uniform Cost – $85.00
Payment is required at the time of the fitting. Please make checks payable to HOBC and send in an envelope to be placed in the orchestra room lockbox. Make sure to note your child’s name on the “for” portion of your check. The Booster club will make one check to the company upon delivery of uniforms.
Please note that this is not a fundraiser for the HOBC.
