Concert Apparel and Music

CONCERT APPAREL

All singers are required to purchase concert apparel.

Men:
Concert apparel for men is a black tuxedo, white tuxedo shirt, black bow tie, rubber soled black shoes, black socks, black studs and cuff links, and black vest.  If you wish to buy a new tux, please pick up an information form at your next Master Chorale rehearsal.  The information form will include suggestions on where to buy your tux.  Prices vary depending on the store, but plan to spend approximately $200 for an entire tux set.

Women:
Concert apparel for women is a special dress, special dress jacket, black hosiery (knee highs are prohibited due to the high slit up the back of the dress) and rubber soled black shoes.  Please pick up a dress order form at your next Master Chorale rehearsal if you need to buy a new dress or jacket.  Jewelry: simple set of pearls included in the price of your dress.  Dress order forms will be made available at your first rehearsal.  The dress, jacket and pearls will cost $125.00 in all.

MUSIC

Music scores and black folders must be purchased.

Borrowed Music:
You may mark the music with pencil.  Music must be returned immediately following the concert (or rehearsal) for which it was used.  New music for subsequent concerts will not be issued until all delinquent music is returned.  If music is torn, you must purchase the music.

Purchased Music:
Scores will be available for purchase prior to the first rehearsal and throughout the year.  Please make your check payable to "The Master Chorale" in the correct amount, or have the correct change if paying with cash.  Credit cards will not be accepted for music purchases.
