ALL FEES ARE NOW PAST DUE

Beginning of the year expenses:

There is a $20 uniform fee for ALL choir members. This covers cleaning and wear replacement for choir robes, men's ties, and girls' camis. Pay Ms. Irish by October 1. (Checks made out to ASB)

Cost of CC shirts is $30.00 and should be paid to Ms. Irish by October 1. (Checks made out to ASB) This is the same shirt we wore last year so old members need not purchase again unless you want to change sizes.
We have a limited number of used shirts for a reduced price of $15.00. See Mrs. Irish for sizes if you are interested.

See the Outfit section of our syllabus for more information on our choir outfits.
