Please pay these in full.  Click here for details on what is owed and how to pay.  Thank You!

Also...Concert dresses will be in 12/10/07.  The company did not have any dresses in stock so they needed to make them.  Due to this delay the timing from the arrival of the dresses to the first performance will be very tight.  You daughter will be given the dress as soon as we receive them.  The dresses will need to be hemmed.  Please hem them with your daughter wearing closed toe, low heel, back shoes.  If you or a family member does not know how to sew there will be instructions inside the dress on how to contact somebody on the uniform committee to do the hemming for you.  We hope that most families will be able to hem their own child's dress because the volunteers will not have much time. 
Thank You. 
Jean Zordell
