concert dress
We ask that students look nice for their performances and for some concerts dress in specific clothing.
This is similar to how sports teams wear specific uniforms on game days.
Winter & Spring
Students should wear all black, including shoes.
No sweat/workout pants, flip flops, or crocs please.
Beginner
There is no specific attire required for this concert.
We ask that students dress nicely (like it's picture day) and not wear flip flops or crocs. The stage can get very warm, so please choose weather appropriate clothing.
The North High School Tri-M is holding a continuous Concert Clothing Drive. If you have any clean concert clothing that you'd like to donate, please send it in to school with your child.
If you are in need of an item, please email me or Mrs. Gallagher.
