Categories of competition included Solo Music Performance, Duet Musical Performance, Large and Small Group Musical Performance, Monologue Performance, Duet Acting Performance, Ensemble Acting Performance, Costume Design, Student Directed Scene, and Pantomime. A wide variety of categories really enabled our students the opportunity to show their true talents.

This is an opportunity for our Thespians and Drama students to perform all of the musical and acting pieces they have been preparing and performing at the District 8 Individual Events Competition. It is also a chance for our students and faculty to see our Drama Department in action. There is a wide variety of music and theatrical pieces being presented and we hope you will encourage your students to attend.
