1 November 2018 Newsletter Thank you for being Broadway Bound! Show Costume Billing The costume selection and ordering process, for the annual performance is lengthy and therefore we need to begin early. Costumes have been selected for each of the classes and we will measure students to determine their sizes. A binder showing all of the costumes will be available at the studio. Contrary to common belief, costumes are not stocked but are generally custom ordered in an effort to minimize the manufacturer s inventory and shelf life; therefore, it is not uncommon to order costumes six months prior to a performance. It is also the policy of most costume companies to require full payment at the time of the order. We realize this may be a burden for many of our student families just prior to the holidays however, we need to place our orders and pay for them in order to guarantee delivery and allow time for adjustments if necessary. Everyone should have received a statement or invoice via showing the costume charge. If a student takes more than one class, they will have more than one costume. Payment must be made by December 1, Payment made after December 10th will incur a $10 late fee. Costumes must be ordered by the end of the year to guarantee delivery by May allowing enough time for adjustments if needed. It has always been our goal to keep costume costs below the industry standard. We have tried to select costumes within our price range or with combination pieces to provide additional flexibility and economic benefit. Last year was our first increase in several years and this year, even though costume companies have made substantial price increases in their latest catalogs we will NOT increase our costume fee. This year the fee will remain at $ We are unable to order costumes without payment and therefore you run the risk of not being able to perform in the show if you do not have a costume. Costume payments are nonrefundable. When paying for costumes please keep all payments separate from your tuition since they are accounted for in their own accounting process. Please write a separate check. IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE: We would really prefer a check or cash payment for costumes to avoid the credit card surcharge. If you must use a credit card, we will charge the costumes to the credit card we have on file however, we will not charge costumes unless you specifically request it. Your approval for AutoPay at the time of registration is ONLY FOR TUITION. If you want us to charge your card, please reply to this . We cannot charge the card, for costumes, without your specific approval.
