Caps & Gowns

When you get home from rehearsal: 

• Hang up your cap and gown in a steamy bathroom to get out the wrinkles. Do not use wrinkle spray or an iron. 

• If you decorate your cap, it must follow these guidelines. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in the student being asked to remove the cap in order to participate in the ceremony. Any student unwilling to remove their cap for violating these guidelines, will not be allowed to participate in the ceremony, will be escorted out, and will not be allowed to return to the ceremony. As schools do not have extra caps on hand, replacements will not be issued.
