IMPORTANT: Once you receive your costume(s), it is very important that you put them away in the closet and do not take them out or wear them until they are needed. It is important that everyone look their best in the recital, so please take care not to wear/play with/get dirty all costumes before they are needed for recital performances. Costumes cannot be replaced!
**ATTENTION: Roswell Dance Theatre Company and TYSOD Open School Recital Performances are on separate weekends!**
