Each family is responsible to provide each student's own pirate costume. Please keep the costumes simple; we have to change from costumes into school clothes and vice versa. An ideal costume might include solid colored pants and a solid colored shirt you could also wear to school, plus an accessory or two (hat, bandana, vest, sash, etc) that you could easily pack in a backpack. Tights, tall boots, wigs, complicated jewelry, etc, are not ideal. Please keep costumes simple, and able to transition as easily as possible into the school day.
You can find your costume at a thrift store, shop online, or make it yourself from old T-shirts and fabric you may already have. Halloween costumes will be easy to pick up for cheap on clearance after Halloween is over.
General Costumes: School-appropriate pirate attire of your choice. No weapons.
Specific Character Costumes:
King (or Queen): You provide a regular pirate costume, plus the teachers will provide a crown.
Stowaway: Cut or distress some pirate-y clothing.
Bearded Pirates: wear as much of your color as possible (For example: Redbeard can also wear red pants, red vest, etc) Please do not buy or make a beard. The teachers will provide face paint crayons to draw beards on students' faces the day of the performance.
Prisoners: The teachers will provide a cloak to wear over your regular costume.
