More tips for the concert!

Can you believe it..concert is next week!! We are so excited!  This weekend would be a good time to make sure you have everything squared away for hair/costume/makeup so that you aren't stressed out running to get things last minute.  A few pointers...make sure that your black nylons are BLACK.  This can stick out on stage a lot.  Also...as it is mentioned each concert (and not to make anyone feel uncomfortable)..please make sure you are wearing a good quality, supportive bra..we want our focus to be elsewhere.  :)  Get plenty of sleep..and drink LOTS of water! 

First half
We will be wearing our "travel attire" (cardigan, jean capris, and white collared, buttoned up shirt.) For jewelery we would prefer pearls. Try to come up with some sort of vintage hairstyle/makeup look as well.  You know..red lips, the eyeliner.  If you are unsure of what this is...google vintage hair and makeup. There are a lot of great ideas on Pinterest as well.  If you are having trouble with any of this please don't hesitate to ask you fellow Musette sisters. There are many who would LOVE to help you.  

Second half
For second half we will be wearing our black pilazzo pants, 3/4 length black shirts, and the sparkly silver shrugs.  Everyone will be receiving a sash with a state on it as well.  Also, black character shoes.  For jewelery we want silver (please no gold) sparkly/blingy necklaces and earings or bracelets and rings.  Something that would stand out on stage.   At the last rehearsal everyone saw how gorgeous Lisa looked. :)   It is HIGHLY suggested that we find an updo for second half as she had. Try to add some sort of fun flower or feather to it if you can like Lisa did.    

For makeup remember to try to do as much on your own as you can as to cut back on the time Leslie has to spend on each individual person.  For foundation..a shade darker than what you usually use is best for the stage. A lot of places like Sephora, Clinique etc are willing to match you and give a you a little sample.   Remember blush...we don't want anyone to look washed out...  Leslie will be available a little earlier that the first slot on the makeup scedule to help anyone that might need extra help also.  The makeup scedule will be up on the blog shortly!

We apologize for so many changes in the costumes and appreciate everyone being patient with us as we have tried to create the right look for this concert.  It is going to be a blast and you are all going to be gorgeous!   Again, don't hesitate to ask for help in advance in you are going to need it.   Last concert it was so neat to see everyone helping each other with hair and makeup.. it was half the fun!  How often do we get to do these fun updos? Lets have fun with this! 

Love,
Emily, Dausha, and Lisa
