Students who outgrow their tuxedos may request a different size. Students need to acquire their own pleated tuxedo shirts with wing-tip collar, black bow ties, cufflinks and black metal studs (Syms, Men’s Warehouse, and Filenes Basement generally carry these items at reasonable prices.)  Men may wear their own tuxedos, provided they are black and bear a standard lapel–no shawl collars or double-breasted jackets, please.  Students must keep tuxedos in good repair and dry clean before returning.

Women:  In September, for women who don’t already have them, Music Boosters will fit uniforms of concert gown with matching bolero jacket ($110).  It’s also sometimes possible to purchase these used from music program alumni via the listserv or other inquiries.

Note:  Uniform distribution is handled by parent volunteers.  For additional information, please check our website and future listserv emails.
