The Gray's Creek Orchestra maintains a high standard of professional appearance to ensure the focus remains on the music and collective ensemble. All students are required to adhere to these attire and grooming standards for all concert performances.
​
You will be expected to perform in uniform at all GCHS Orchestra concerts, beginning with our fall concert in October. Responsibility to purchase the uniform is on you. We strongly advise you to order uniform materials early.
​
Members of the orchestra who have purchased and used GCHS Orchestra uniforms in past years and ladies of the orchestra who have purchased a GCHS Chorus uniform gown may reuse past uniforms and need not purchase a new uniform this year unless desired.
Ladies
The new GCHS Orchestra Ladies' uniform is the same as the GCHS Chorus Ladies' uniform. It is available from www.stageaccents.com and is the "Dahlia" gown in black. Ladies should wear appropriate plain black shoes and if desired, plain black stockings or socks. It is recommended to use the sizing chart on their website when ordering the gown as sizes do not always match from one retailer to another. If hip/bust measurements indicate different sizes, go with the larger size and alter the gown. Gowns will arrive unhemmed. The cost for the new uniform is $64 plus shipping for a listed size. Be aware that there is a substantial fee for custom sizing from this retailer. Gowns from this retailer take approximately 3 weeks to arrive, so plan accordingly.
​
Ladies please avoid:
*Sparkly or reflective jewelry or rhinestones on shoes (they will be a distraction)
*Open-toed shoes
*Shoes with any color other than black
*Large jewelry and/or chains that may interfere with playing
