Concert Attire
Concert Attire
In order to present a unified, professional appearance, all students in performing music ensembles are required to
purchase the official “concert black” MRHS Concert Attire from Cousin's to wear for all performances.
Students may select from three style options:
long black evening gown, black blouse / palazzo pants combo, and black dress shirt/slacks/tie combo.
Prices range from $60-75 depending on style choice.
New students will need to buy the complete attire (either dress or package option)
Returning students have the option to buy separate pieces if needed.
[Some ensembles have additional attire purchase/rental requirements, scroll down for info.]
New this year: No need to come in for fittings, order from your couch with our online store! (COMING SOON).
Deadline to place an order is October 11th!
Your order will ship to the school after the store closes and be distributed to you in class.
Please try on your garments as soon as they are received. The school will have one week to collect size exchanges for free.
All pants and dresses are unfinished and will require hemming before Winter Concert performances. Dry cleaners typically take one week for alterations, so allow adequate time. We recommend that the gowns and palazzo pants be hemmed to just above floor level, so the wearer appears to float. For concerts, students should wear dressy black shoes and black socks or hose. Wear the shoes you plan to wear when measuring for alterations. We also recommend leaving a couple inches in the hem so you can let it out if you grow an inch or two.
