There are some items that students are responsible to purchase for their costumes. Each student will need a pair of black tights. You can either purchase dance tights or Target carries a heavy duty tight that seems to work well. Students will also need a pair of black soled slippers. Girls can wear the Mary Jane type and boys can purchase the Black Corduroy slippers. We would also suggest gel inserts for comfort because the students are on their feet a great deal during the dinner. Each student will receive one set of underarm shields and extra sets can be purchased for $1 each. Students will be signing a contract regarding the care of their costume, and we require that each student who takes their costume home must transport their costume to and from the dinner in a garment bag. The garment bag is considered part of the costume and if the student received one with their costume, they must return it. If you have any costume questions, please contact Amber Forrest at 243-3524 or Julie Buick at 222-6802. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2009 Madrigal Dinner Helpers Needed Madrigal Dinner performances will be 8 nights in December 2 - 5 and 9 -12. For those of you, who were unable to attend our parent meeting, do not fret! Its not too late to sign up to help and actually we are counting on you to do just that. We still need many volunteers for various committees. It truly takes an army to make this event happen. The hours you donate will be converted to points which can be used to help fund the next big choir trip in 2011. Listed below are the chairpersons for each committee. If you havent already signed up to help, please call the chairperson and tell them you would like to volunteer. Remember you can volunteer for more than one committee! We especially need helpers in the small and large kitchens for Friday and Saturday nights. (In case you dont know, the small kitchen is in charge of cooking the delicious caramel sauce for the figgy pudding dessert!) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Madrigal Parents Watch for Tickets in the Mail Tickets that were pre-ordered by Madrigal parents were mailed Friday Nov. 2.
