MRHS Concert Attire Information 2023-2024

All students in performing music ensembles are required to purchase the official “concert black” MRHS

Concert Attire 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 / dress slacks / tie combo. Prices for attire range from $60-77 depending on style choice.


NOTE THIS IS A NEW PROCEDURE! If you are a new music student ordering concert attire for the first time OR a current music student who needs to order a different size for any part of your concert attire, you must come to a scheduled evening session (September 26-28) to get measured for your attire.


Date of Evening   Session Time Location

Tuesday, September 26   4PM – 8PM MRHS Music Suite

Wednesday, September 27   4PM – 8PM MRHS Music Suite

Thursday, September 28   4PM – 7PM MRHS Music Suite


At the fitting you will receive an order form with detailed size and style information as well as instructions for ordering the attire online at our MRHS Music Store set up with our vendor, Cousin’s Concert Attire.

Sign up for an attire fitting using the following link:

We will have a limited inventory of half-price consignment attire available for sale at the fitting sessions (cash, check or credit card). If you are interested in consignment, we suggest you make your fitting appointment for Tuesday, September 26 to have the best selection.


Parents/guardians will be responsible for placing and paying for the order online at the MRHS Music Store. All orders must be completed by October 10. Clothes will be distributed in class.  Please note there will be a one-week exchange period for attire to be returned to MRHS for a free size or style exchange.  Exact dates for the return period will be communicated when clothes are distributed. If the student misses the return window, parents/guardians will be responsible for exchanging clothing with the vendor directly. 


All gowns and pants require hemming, as they come with unfinished hems, so attire must be hemmed in time for performances.


Students must wear dressy black shoes and black socks or hose with the concert attire. Families must provide shoes and socks/hose.
