Is it normal to have teachers helping girls change costumes?

I have two beautiful young daughters that go to high school. My daughter C is 18 and a senior and my younger daughter L just turned 15 who is a freshmen. Both of our daughters are in the varsity show choir for their school. During their performance they must do a costume change which means they have assistants to help them change. I'm very uncomfortable with a 27 and 34 year old assistants helping young girls change. I know it's a professional thing and all but some of these girls are so young and during the actual performances the girls wear bloomers over their thongs, but at practices they don't have bloomers and all these girls are getting out of one dress and into another very quickly. I'm a very concerned mother knowing these assistants see all the girls in their performance thongs. My older daughter C says it's just something you get use to as a freshman. I wanted to just not worry about it until last night L came home from practice crying saying that during the costume change a zipper was caught on her full coverage performance bra and ripped down the middle and fell off right as the guy performers were coming off stage and everybody saw L's breasts. L was too embarrassed to go to practice today even with C trying to cheer her up saying how that's happened to other girls this year including herself. The only difference is L is much more shy and younger than C and is far to young to have those assistants accidentally see her private areas, my husband is furious and wants the girls out but what should I do? Let then stay or have them be done with show choir?

    Alright if you put her in any type of performing arts they they sometimes have costume changes. So you just have to deal with it. There is certien dresses and outfits women wear that is hard for them to put on by themselves.

    If you are changing even if you are doing it slowly sometimes there is wardrobe malfunctions. Haven't you ever wore anything with zippers? If you had you know how easy it is for those to get stuck.

    You are overreacting. That is just part of the show. Yeah she might have torn her bra but I doubt it was an elaborate set up to make everyone laugh at her by the "perverted assistants" as you make them out to be.

    This type of stuff is something you have to deal with in any type of performance art. You should have enough mind to realize costumes are just overly extravagant outfits. Like any outfit they can tear, get ruined and so on. Also that zippers often break and get caught very easily. They are also probobly more useful in performance pieces since you cant always tell they are there. Unlike you can with buttons.

    Why on earth would they be wearing thongs? That alone is inappropriate. What do the other parents think? This is all very strange... I think you should have a PTA meeting at the school to discus this.

      Pretty sure it's bullshit. There were a few others about this family and their escapades. It was like a series :/

      I can't believe it made it through.

        One can only hope that it is rubbish.

        Yeah, sometimes I can't help but to question the moderator's judgments. :/
