New Music Concert Uniforms!
Okoboji Fine Arts coordinated a 28-Day Challenge in February 2021 to raise funds for new band and choir uniforms at Okoboji High School. Both band and choir wear the same concert attire. The current chiffon dresses and full tuxedos are over 10 years old. The chiffon dresses have been hemmed too many times and many of the tuxedos are stained.
Fundraising began in late November and OFA aimed to raise $10,500 in 3 phases.
PHASE 1 ($4,800): Replace the dresses with new ones that are machine washable with no chiffon for easier hemming. A formal, full length dress (including tailoring) will be approximately $75. GOAL MET!!!
PHASE 2 ($2,600): Replace the dress shirts which are priced at $14 and the tuxedo dress pants which are $28. We are able to keep the current bowties. This uniform with alterations will cost approximately $55. GOAL MET!!!
PHASE 3 ($3,100) involves the purchase of new tuxedo jackets. Each jacket is approximately $70 with tailoring. GOAL MET!!!
PRIZES: Each individual/business that donates will be eligible for one of four $25 gift certificates to Perkins Restaurant. OFA will draw for a prize on Feb. 7, 14, 21, and 28. OFA announced the results of the 28-Day Challenge at the
7-12 Vocal Concert on March 1st.
You can still donate for funds for extra uniforms and accessories such as bow ties and ties.
