averaging up to $175.00 total.
Often, at least one of the recital costumes will be appropriate for additional public performances
throughout the year and MAY be substituted for a formal school-dress uniform. Feisanna
(competitions) have special rules governing attire and this is also a consideration in determining
whether a student needs a uniform.
At present, we have not found a suitable replacement for our previous school dress-uniforms which
cost approximately $200.00. Therefore no student will be asked to invest in a uniform until fall of 2008.
