Pay a $100/year to help cover costs of uniforms, music, soundtracks, choreography, and so forth ($25 is due the first day of the audition, $25 upon acceptance into the Show Choir, $25 the first day of fall semester, and $25 at the end of October). 5. Have a strong work ethic, cooperative spirit, and positive attitude. EMERGENCY Show Choir Uniform CleaningMr. Morisco will be responsible for cleaning all show choir uniforms; however, if you have an EMERGENCY situation, it is OK to HAND WASH both the women's dresses and the men's shirts. It is OK to use a washing machine, if it has a HAND WASH setting. Use Woolite and COLD water.
Place on a hanger to dry. DO NOT DRY IN DRYER. DO NOT IRON. The uniforms are 100% polyester and they will MELT. Women, before washing your dress, turn your it inside-out, and zip it, to prevent the sequins from coming off. REMEMBER: This is ONLY for an EMERGENCY situation. Mr. Morisco will be responsible for cleaning the uniforms. Please see the PDF of the Rivar's Fabric Care Instructions in the "Group Files" section. Activities
