2008 Spring Festival Photo Gallery

The Spring Festival is a yearly student production which combines a traditional beauty pageant with a central theme showcasing a variety of student talent in the fine arts. Approximately seventy students who have not won the title previously, participate in the beauty pageant and compete for Mr. and Ms. Virginia High, and approximately 100 participate in the talent section. 

After the theme is selected by a panel of students and sponsors, vocal auditions are scheduled for late February. These auditions are open to all students. An audition is held also for the host and/or hostess for the show. In early March, students may sign up for dance members. Traditionally, students have formed tap, ballet, jazz, and free-style groups. Choreography for these groups is provided by students, as well as by professional dance teachers. 

In early March, students from the theatre arts classes begin set construction while students in marketing sell ads to help defray the cost of the production.  Students in art class prepare the tickets and the programs.  The drafting class then draws the set in perspective to help construction crews visualize the finished product.  The Cosmetology students offer style enhancements to contestants and show participants on the night of the show.  In addition, this spring we hope the culinary arts students will prepare and sell refreshments for intermission.  Finally other students may be given the chance to sign up as "filler," those who stand, sit, or walk around the stage to add special effects. 

Two productions for the students in the school system and one evening performance for the public are scheduled. 

Ten of the candidates for Mr. and Ms. Virginia High will be selected to serve as the Court of the Spring Festival.
