Having a standard concert attire in our Chaparral Orchestras is an important aspect of our performing arts program. Matching professional concert attire can help students set a professional tone to their performances, as well as representing Chaparral High School in a polished manner. This year, tuxedos will remain the same, but we will be changing the dress style to match band & choir, and have an additional third choice as a 2-piece ensemble dress black option. For students who have the previous orchestra concert dress, they may choose to continue wearing their previous sleeveless dress and do not need to purchase the new style unless wanted. If purchasing concert attire is difficult for your family, please reach out to Mrs. Ellsworth for help.
Students who choose to purchase a dress will order the “Mariposa dress’; item #8592 from Stage Accents. It will be the responsibility of each family to order and have the dress and additional concert attire requirements (black close toed shoes) hemmed and ready to be worn prior to upcoming performances. Please be mindful of the sizing chart and take measurements of your student before ordering appropriately. To order, please click on the following link. Click on the “size chart” at the bottom of the page for measurement guidelines. From past experience, we know the dress sizes tend to run small.
Students who choose to purchase a tuxedo will select the Basic Tuxedo Package, from Tuxedo Wholesalers or something comparable. It will be the responsibility of each family to order and have the tuxedo package and additional concert attire requirements (black socks/black dress shoes) purchased and hemmed if necessary prior to upcoming performances. Please be mindful of the sizing chart at the bottom of the page for measurement guidelines before ordering appropriately. If your student will be in orchestra for several years, we suggest erring on the side of a bit larger to accommodate room for growth. Choose “notch lapel” for the coat style, and “poly comfit, flat front” for the pant style.
Students who choose to purchase the 2-piece ensemble will select the “Baxter Ensemble 2-Piece”, item #: 1921-ENS from Stage Accents. It will be the responsibility of each family to order and have the Baxter Ensemble and additional concert attire requirements (black socks/black close toed dress shoes) purchased and hemmed if necessary prior to upcoming performances.
