Costume Ideas

Below are ideas of how to dress your students for our musical “The Big Chill”.  These are only ideas.  Please feel free to use your own ideas too, I love variety!  In dressing your student for the musical, please keep in mind that the gym gets hot, so please keep the clothing lightweight so the students do not get overheated and sick during the performance.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me (618)281-4997 or email me hughes.christel@columbia4.org
