Costumes
Are you thinking about a Marie Kondo-style wardrobe clean out? The Friends of Music Costume Committee are seeking donations of 1980’s style taffeta dresses for the Senior Music Festival Back to the 80’s concert. Maybe you still have an old formal dress or an outfit from a party or wedding that fits the bill. If it no longer ‘sparks joy’ then we would love to have it! Please drop it off at the Music Office on either the Senior or Junior Campus by Friday 24 May. All donations would be greatly appreciated.
