The Graduation Concert is a formal event designed for a family audience. Students on stage represent AASPA and should reflect a wholesome yet professional image. Choose outfits to provide comfort and confidence while performing at the piano. Students should select conservative styles that are modest in design, and age-appropriate. Students who are not dressed in an appropriate manner at the dress rehearsal, may be asked to change clothing for the concert at the discretion of the Graduation Directors.
