Prom Tux Measurements
Thinking of going to prom? Take the hassle out of tux rental and support the MHS Music program at the same time! M. Stein & Company will be at the MHS cafeteria on Friday, March 23 and Monday, March 26 to measure students. There is no obligation to rent a tux, but if you are even considering going to prom, let M. Stein & Company take your measurements and email you a catalog. You can choose from over 400 styles and prices start at just $85. The best part is that if you rent a tux through this fundraiser, you pick it up at MHS two days before the prom and return it to MHS on the Monday after the prom. No hassle of standing in line with everyone else at a tux rental shop and driving out of your way to pick up and drop off your tux. Announcements will be made in the cafeteria on the 23rd and 26th to remind students to get measured. 20% will be donated back to the MHS Band Boosters.
