Costumes
**Basic Stage Makeup:
includes POWDER, BLUSH, MASCARA, and LIPS(Red for girls, pinkish brown for boys)
Bases for Villagers, "Belle" and "Gaston"
I have already gotten with a lot of you individually. If I have told you something specific, that will supersede what I am posting now.
GIRLS: need white or black tank tops or cami's. Your kids should know the color of their shirts, so we can try to coordinate with that (flesh tone works well too). Bottom bases for girls can be black bike or dance shorts, leggins(if they are wearing a long skirt& most are) or black cotton athletic shorts(soffe style). Some girls are dressing as boys, they should know if they are, there are a few in "Belle" and everyone on "Gaston".
BOYS: Bases should be a white tank top or undershirt and black, grey, or brown sweatpants (solid in color with no visible logos). Jogger style sweatpants are best, but if you just have open legged style that is fine too. The following characters require a specific color pant; Wolves (also in Gaston) grey joggers, Holly Strittmatter-black pants, Reno McCrory-grey pants. If you have any question please message me. I am going to post an example base. This is my daughter in her Lumiere base. This works well for many costumes and will definitely work well for our girls villagers.
Be Our Guest Costumes & Base
Okay, for our costume based on be our guest. Most of the costumes are actually coming with a base layer of a sorts, either a body suit/unitard, or a tunic and fitted pants(it will depend on the size of the kids, they don't have small unitards). So many of the kids are going to have to change into these when they get to the high school. Just to be safe, lets go with white tank tops for all "Be Our Guest" base and some sort of solid color cotton shorts. I don't think the color will matter on these but black would be best. They should all be covered by completely by the costumes.
Examples:
Hanes Boys' 5 Pack Ultimate Comfortsoft Tank
Fruit of the Loom Big Girls' Assorted Tank (Pack of 5)
Soffe Big Girls' New Soffe Short
Pink House Big Girls' 3 Piece Seamless Short
Girls Hair: Low ponytail & Basic Stage Makeup**(girls can wear red or a pink lip, just make sure it shows up on the lip
Boys Hair: Neatly combed & Basic Stage Makeup**
Chorus Camp Costumes
For chorus camp, the costume base your little ones will need is a plain solid black long sleeved t-shirt and solid black pants. The pants can be open legged sweat pants (not joggers) or leggings with an over sized black shirt for the girls. They will also need solid black shoes. I'm not going to require dance shoes for chorus camp, since their dancing isn't as extensive as the others, however if you have them, they will work great. I will post some pictures of some other shoe ideas. It is important that the shoes are solid black with no other color. They have the "ballerina style" slippers at kid to kid for $8.99. They work for boys and girls and make great house shoes afterwards. If you have any other questions please feel free message me directly on messenger. This is the costume base and shoes for chorus camp only.
Examples:
Keds Women's Triumph Fashion Sneaker
Isotoner Women's Satin Ballerina Slipper
Skechers Girls Comfy Cuties Canvas Casual
Hanes Big Girls' ComfortSoft Long Sleeve Tee
Girls Hair: Low ponytail & Basic Stage Makeup**(girls can wear red or a pink lip, just make sure it shows up on the lip
Boys Hair: Neatly combed & Basic Stage Makeup**

Forgive me if I missed your actor and please bring it to my attention in the comments. Let me know if there are any questions.
I know that I checked a bunch of you off the list for your bases on Saturday. I am trying to remember who has what base to match them with the tutus and tunics and I am wishing I had thought to take pictures. If you could take a picture of the base and and post it in the comments with your daughters name, or send it to me in messenger I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
I just want to make sure that all of the jitterbug trees know their base for this scene, since it plays a big part in the costume. Girls are being provided leotards but you need to bring black bootcut yoga pants(not leggings). Boys need a fitted long sleeved black T-shirt. I have the pants for you. Jitterbugs tree parents please comment on this post so I know that you have seen this.
*for all other characters, just a reminder that can find your base info on the costume list spreadsheet under the Files section of this FB page.
1. Chorus Camp, if I missed checking your costume base today you can just send me a picture on messenger of your kids in their base, or just the base you have and kids name, and I will check them off my list.
2. I spoke to a couple of mom’s on the first workday, who said their girls would bring their own black leotards. I can’t remember who all told me this. Would you remind me in the comments if this was you.
3. A big thank you to the amazing parents who helped me out on costume today for work day!!!
HOW TO MAKE WIZARD OF OZ MUNCHKIN COSTUMES
Make a no-sew Munchkin costume inspired from the Wizard of Oz with items you probably already have.
I need to finalize my list of volunteers for the week of the show. I have created a page just for costume volunteers, so we don’t bog down this page with our posts. I have already added some people. I cannot add you if you are not already my FB friends, but you can search for our page. It is Martin Musicals Costumes. Just ask to join and I will approve it. I have a list of everyone who volunteered. If you didn’t originally volunteer for costumes but would like to help, message me and search for and join our page as well. Most of the show week costume duties are helping kids with quick changes, making sure we don’t miss cues, helping keep costumes organized, and simple safety pinning. I need plenty of backstage help, you will only be asked to do one show night, but we will need you during our tech rehearsals.

I am attaching a copy of the cast list that includes each students costume base and shoe requirements for the show. Please use this document as a reference for your shoe and costume base questions. Your child should already have their shoes. If they don't please get them ASAP. I do have a few new pairs of shoes left if you want to see if I have their size. Chorus Camp info. is not on this document. You can find chorus camp information on the link to our website. Once again parents thank you for your help. I will have lots of costume volunteer opportunities coming up. Keep an eye on this page if you would like to help.
I would like to have a meeting on April 14, which is our second parent work day, to discuss all the particulars of what we will be doing for the show and sign up for who will be doing what. To be backstage you will need to have your background check form turned in and be on my volunteer list so make sure you can make the meeting. If you are going to be at the school this Saturday for our first work day and have any questions don’t hesitate to find me and have a chat! Time is to be decided soon! Stay tuned!
Click here to see an outline of events and information for this Saturday, March 24th. Includes chorus camp, headshots, rehearsals, parent work day, general info.
This Monday, 3/19 is last call for ALL measurements. I have to have all measurements on Monday. If your child did not get measured Thursday, 3/15, I need their measurements Monday. I will be measuring 4 - 5:30 pm.
IMPORTANT: If your child is not in scenes 1 - 4 and called for rehearsal on Monday, they must be accompanied by an adult.
I will have help with the measurements and we will get them measured and release them to you as soon as possible. If you cannot have your child at the school accompanied by an adult on Monday, you can print off the forms and measure them yourself or have someone you know familiar with clothing measuring do it for you. Please read the instructions carefully, they are very particular. Please make sure you print the correct gender form (Not the gender of the role, the gender of the actor). Please use the Harris Costumes Form. They can be turned in either to me in the computer lab or in the Martin Musicals box at school on Monday morning. Thank you so much parents for helping us out with this!
