:Before Tech Week: 

• Make sure you have all costume pieces ready a few weeks before tech week to avoid last-minute scrambling. Early preparation helps reduce pre-show jitters for kids.

• Thrift stores like Goodwill can be budget-friendly and may have unique finds. Amazon is an option, but order early to ensure timely delivery.

• Avoid spending too much since costumes are often only used once unless they're everyday clothing your child likes.

• If layers are needed, keep them thin as stage lights make it hot.

• Ensure clothing is free of words or pictures to avoid distracting the audience.

 :Tech Week and Shows:

• To help with quick costume changes, have your child wear an underlayer like a leotard or tight shirt and shorts.

• Use a basket to keep their costume pieces together and separate from others.

• Assist or encourage them to organize their costumes after each use to keep them performance-ready.

• For stage makeup, a little blush and lip gloss are often enough for this show. (unless otherwise specified)
