Uniforms must be purchased by August 20, 2021 to ensure they are received and properly tailored in time for the first concert on October 26, 2021.
On August 10, 2021 at 7 PM, we will have our Mandatory Annual Parent Meeting where we will display the chorus attire, and Michelle Dobo can answer any additional questions on uniforms.
Students are required to wear the official Walton Chorus uniform to each chorus concert. Concerts serve as a performance grade, so it is vital this payment be made by the deadline of 8/20/21 to ensure student success.
If your family is experiencing financial difficulties, please contact Michelle Dobo as soon as possible at michelledobo@gmail.com or (404) 429-7355 to discuss other resources we have available to ensure your child is properly outfitted for concerts. We have a few gently used dresses and tuxedos that have been donated by previous chorus members upon graduation for this purpose, and we are happy to help, based on availability.
Female Uniform
- Informal Chorus Uniform: Chorus T-shirt (included in Participation Fee payment)
- Formal Chorus Uniform: Long navy and black dress, concert black Character shoes, a single strand of faux pearls, and a garment bag.
- The Uniform Chair will arrange for the girls to be fitted, and all uniform items must be ordered through the chorus department as a group by August 20, 2021.
- Total cost for these four items is $130.00. The total uniform or any needed pieces must be purchased on the Walton Chorus Payment Checklist page no later than 8/20/21 to ensure delivery in time for the first concert in October.
- Please allow time for any necessary alterations to be completed before the first concert in October. The dresses will need to be hemmed 1 1⁄2 inches from the floor WITH the uniform shoes on, and this hem length is to be maintained during their tenure in chorus. Sue Jones, 4sue@bellsouth.net or (404) 518-6793, is a seamstress who knows exactly what to do and has been hemming Walton Chorus dresses for many years, charges $25. However, you may use whomever you like for this.
Male Uniform
- Informal Chorus Uniform: Chorus T-shirt (included in Participation Fee payment)
- Formal Chorus Uniform: Traditional black tuxedo, white traditional collar dress shirt (This is different from the white shirts used in the past that have up-turned collars to accommodate bow ties), long black chorus tie, black dress shoes, and black socks. (Men must provide their own black dress shoes and black dress socks.) Men of A Cappella will be issued a vest for use during the school year. Vests belong to Walton Chorus and must be returned at the end of the school year.
Two Options for Male Formal Uniform:
- If a student already owns a black tuxedo, they may use it instead of purchasing one.
- Purchase Walton Chorus Tux directly via our vendor Bel Fiore Bridal at 1205 Johnson Ferry Rd, Suite 138, Marietta, GA in the Woodlawn Shopping Center no later than September 1, 2021. The cost is $165 (plus tax) and includes pants, jacket, shirt, tie, and garment bag. Alterations are at an additional cost. You may drop in at any time on Wednesdays to get fitted. Otherwise, please contact Bel Fiore Bridal for a fitting appointment.
