Students are not required to purchase a subscription to Smart Music; however, a subscription at home allows students better access to their assignments. Students are allowed to work on assignments in the Music Room Smart Labs. Students are required to sign up ahead of time, using the sign up sheet outside the music room.

Stage Accents is one company I recommend for finding a concert dress. Dresses are higher quality, customer service is very good, and their prices are fair.
Southeastern is another excellent company.
