Costume bag which holds a few changes, and a large messenger bag for hair stuff, makeup, water, etc.

My DD does cheer, pom, jazz and hip hop so there a quite a few outfit changes. I have a small suitcase with wheels and a handle. It fits everything (including snacks) and is easy to get around.

Yep, lots of dance parents used the plastic tubs, good for costumes. I also used those cooler bags that have a trolley attached for all makeup and hair stuff. Keeps it together and cool in the sweaty backstage environment.

We have a big dance bag for shoes, stockings, water etc. Make up and hair pins, bun nets etc, we had a pink kids fishing tackle box and it works a treat. Thankfully we don't have to worry about costumes as someone brings them for us.

I just used a garment bag for dd's rehearsal on the weekend. Costumes were on hangers then I just hung a plastic shopping bag over the hangers, one for her dance shoes and one for her snack/drink. A small make up bag just sat in the bottom of the garment bag, zip it up and away you go. And of course label everything!!!

Zip-up garment bag for costumes. Plastic tub with everything else... and her name on absolutely everything (even coat hangers have a name on them!)

I have a garment bag for the costume and a bag for the shoes - I was thinking a little spinner suitcase to put it all in and so that I can still wheel it and control my 20month old at the same time! it's going to be a long day!
