Why are we collecting fees in November for
Spring shows, you ask?
Many companies take up to 12 or more
weeks to produce costumes. We
measure the students in November and
begin ordering costumes right away. Our
goal is to get them back in t ime to
distribute them for the group pictures
that are featured in our program book.
Costumes are $50 to $70 per costume.
They will be added to your account on
October 11th, so please make sure your
classes are properly listed on your portal.
If you'd like a more accurate est imate of
your costume fees, please see the
website under Tuit ion and Fees. Last ly,
costume fees are non-refundable.
Tuit ion for the full season must be paid
to receive costumes in the spring.
