MRHS Concert Attire Information 2024-2025

CONCERT ATTIRE 2024-2025

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 range from $60-75 depending on style choice.

Concert Attire fittings will take place in the music suite the afternoons and evenings of September 24-26, 2024. 

Sign up for your fitting appointment here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0849AAAA2BA2F58-44319133-concert#/ 

New students needing attire and any returning students needing replacement attire are required to sign up for a fitting appointment. Sample attire will be available for students to try on, and parent volunteers will assist students in selecting sizes and completing the order forms.

Payment for attire may be made during the fitting appointment by cash, check made payable to Marriotts Ridge Music Foundation, or credit card.  In addition, MRHS Music garment bags will be available for sale for $20.

Attire will be delivered to students in class the week before Thanksgiving to give time for alterations prior to the winter concerts on December 11 and 12.  All gowns and pants require hemming, as they come with unfinished hems.  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 the concert, students should wear dressy black shoes and black socks or hose with the concert attire.  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.
