IMPORTANT REMINDERS

• Polo deadline: online store closes the week of September 14th; orders are delivered to Hayes, Mrs. Cinereski will pass them out to students during choir classes.

• Character shoes: music department bulk order is $45; indicate size on the Parent Handbook Form. Existing appropriate shoes may be reused.

• Tenor/Bass Hayes Singers: dance shoes must have leather soles. Opening Night in Dublin is an option (go visit the store if you want to find your size before ordering). Amazon is another good option, and a bit more affordable.

• Performance appearance: tattoos/facial piercings (other than earrings) should generally be covered/removed, and unnaturally colored hair should be styled so it does not distract from the ensemble.

• Questions about attire or appearance? Please contact the choir director—we are happy to talk through individual situations.

Thank you for supporting our students and helping Hayes Choirs maintain a professional standard of excellence!
