Hello all,

All uniform shirts and jackets have been distributed. Thanks for the smooth process! Remember that shirts are yours, but jackets and garment bags are on loan.
Wardrobe Begins for The Little Prince
Exciting news! It is time to start taking measurements of your chorister for The Little Prince. This is a regular part of being a performer on a professional production. These measurements will go to the Wardrobe team so they can start custom-building our costumes!
I have attached a measurement sheet for you to fill out.
Here are some tips for measuring:
Wear tight fitting clothing to measure
If your chorister wears multiple sizes, (ie women's size and a children's size, please note that specifically.
Weight is optional. You do not have to include this.
Use inches and a soft tape measure.
For circumference measurements, measure closely enough to fit 1 finger between your body and the tape measure.
As requested by POV, I will also be pulling aside choristers during rehearsal breaks to take their photo for the Wardrobe department, and a group photo as well.
Please fill out the attached form and return it, digitally or as a hard copy, by Friday, November 22nd.
Listening:
