Chorus students wear performance uniforms for each concert and LGPE - ladies wear a uniform dress, and men wear a uniform pants/button-down combo. These uniforms are ordered through Formal Fashions, Inc., and are the same that RHHS Chorus wears (RHMS men wear some items, but not the full tuxedo set that RHHS wears). See what the uniforms look like in the rental agreement form below.
All uniforms are machine washable!

Any students who make 6th Grade Statewide Chorus or All-State Chorus are encouraged to wear their pins with their uniform!
Unique Circumstances:
Day-of or lost "loaners"
Middle school students and families have a lot to remember! If a student forgets their uniform on the day of a concert and does not have access to it before call time, they will receive a "loaner" uniform - Mrs. Greer will make a note of which uniform is loaned, and it will need to be laundered and returned by the end of that week.
There is no guarantee that your student's correct size will still be available in the leftover rental stock, and they may receive a uniform that is too large. If this is the case, Mrs. Greer has extra safety pins to make the uniform fit as well as possible.
If a student loses their uniform:
Lost purchased uniform - families may purchase another new uniform through MPP, or complete the rental process for the rest of the school year - if the new uniform does not arrive in time for the next concert, Mrs. Greer and the family will follow the "loaner" procedure.
Lost rented uniform - the family will receive a replacement fee and must complete another rental agreement form to receive another uniform. A replacement uniform for the student will be ordered. If the replacement uniform does not arrive in time for the next concert, Mrs. Greer and the family will follow the "loaner" procedure.
Dress Opt-outs
I completely understand if your student is not comfortable wearing a dress. If your female student would be more comfortable with the shirt/pants uniform, simply skip the dress measurements in the MPP purchasing form or rental agreement form, and complete the shirt/pants measurements instead.
