***************************************************************************************************************************** Class Chorus Girls & Boys are all students in the 5th grade who do not have a speaking part.
Act One – Class Chorus Girls & Boys: All will wear their own clothes that should reflect what one would wear to a Broadway show rehearsal in the present day.
Think ‘Flashdance’ and ‘Fame’….
For girls, tights with shorts worn over them, leotards with dance skirt, leg warmers, tank tops, loose fitting sweatshirts with the sleeves and collars cut off, short wrap sweaters. Hair bands, a simple neck scarf, bandanna or any other accessory that seems appropriate for dancing/movement would be good too. We’re looking for bright, solid colors, please no prints, team logos, etc…
For the boys, PLAIN sweat pants and t-shirts/tank tops in solid colors (bright is great, black & white is good too), please no printed shirts or pants (i.e team logos) – we are looking for uniformity with individuality – remember to add accessories too, sweat bands on wrists, head bands, bandannas.
