2023-24 Uniforms

Dear Parents and Students:  

Welcome to Walton Chorus!  My name is Michelle Dobo, and I am the uniform chair for the choral department. Below are the uniform requirements for the chorus program which must be purchased by 8/25/23 to ensure they are received and properly tailored in time for the first concert in October. 

On August 8 at 6:30 PM, we will have our Mandatory Annual Parent Meeting (in person in the Walton Theater) where we will display the chorus attire, and I can answer any additional questions on uniforms. 

Students are required to wear the official Walton Chorus uniform to each chorus concert.  Concerts do serve as a performance grade, so it is vital this payment be made by the deadline of 8/25/23 to ensure student success.

If your family is experiencing financial difficulties, please contact me 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 several gently used dresses and tuxedos that have been donated by previous chorus members upon graduation for this purpose, and we are happy to help.  Also, you do not have to be in financial difficulty to have a gently used uniform. We have an extensive gently used inventory and can usually outfit many students for free or reduced price.
