This Bell Life ✰ Costume guide for musical numbers

1910s/1920s number: “Have a Little Faith in Me” School dance. Colors should be muted/neutral/sepia-toned. NO bright or bold colors.

GIRLS BOYS

Fancy ballroom dresses. Should be ankle-length or at least go past the knees. Nice shoes that you can still dance in.

Old-timey pinstriped suits, button-down

sweaters or vests, tie or bow tie. Dress pants/slacks, dress shoes. (Cole H. and Jayden K. should look especially snazzy/dressed-up.)


1930s number: “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” School classroom and playground.

STUDENTS TEACHERS

Girls can wear simple dresses with collars,

flower patterns, etc. Boys can wear overalls, shirts and ties, etc. We just want you all to look like young schoolchildren

from this time period.

The two teachers (Kayla C., Katie L.)

should look a bit different to distinguish them from the students. Maybe a nicer dress, a hat, or gloves.


1940s/1950s number: “Boogie Woogie”/“Rockin’ Robin”/“Stupid Cupid” Performers in each song group will wear a different costume as specified below.

“Boogie Woogie” “Rockin’ Robin” “Stupid Cupid”

We’d like these girls to wear something that looks like a vintage military uniform. A

simple blouse and skirt in khaki, brown, or green would be great. *We will provide the hats and any necessary accessories.*

These boys should look a bit like greasers from the ‘50s,

but in a sweater, sports jacket, or letterman jacket if

possible.

Girls in this number should wear a 1950s poodle skirt or

something like it - but it doesn’t have to have an

actual poodle on it!


1960s number: “Feeling Good” All tap dancers, jazz dancers, and signers should be in ALL BLACK.

GIRLS BOYS

Girls should wear leotards, tights, or

other comfortable black clothes. Tank tops/spaghetti straps or

short-sleeved tops are acceptable.

Boys should also wear comfortable black

clothes that look nice and are easy to dance in. NO sweatpants.


1980s number: Rap mash-up Performers should look like ‘80s rocker chicks! Think Madonna (leather, studs, jewelry, etc.), but NOT Olivia Newton-John.


1990s number: “House Party” All performers should wear lots of bright colors! Parachute pants, windbreakers, hats, sunglasses, etc. - think Saved by the Bell !


2000s/2010s number: “Pep Rally” For this number, performers should dress in Bell School spiritwear - dress the same as you would for a “Red Out” celebration at school. Lots of red, black, white, and Bell representation!


“Timeless” ASL number: “The Kids”/“With a Little Help From My Friends” Each student in this number will be dressed as a different decade in order to give it a timeless feel. We will coordinate with each student individually which of their costumes they should pick to wear for this number.
