The understanding and appreciation of the finest works of man's creative spirit are necessary for a complete education. Effective instruction in the arts provides the student with technical skills and motivation to develop an awareness of his environment, to increase his aesthetic and cultural understanding, and to communicate creatively his image of himself and his world. All of these aims can truly serve to produce in the individual an appreciation for the relationship of the arts to every aspect of daily living.
The Theater Arts program offers students an excellent outlet for self-expression and development through our theater company, MUST C Productions. We produce two shows each year - one comedy or drama and a musical. Cast members are chosen from interested MUS students and neighboring schools. There are opportunities to participate in all areas of theater including acting, directing, stagecrafts, lighting, sound, public relations, and theater house management. Seniors often stage an annual student-directed play. For information on rehearsal schedules and cast go to Mr. Saunders' home page.

The ensemble's specialty, however, is "curbstone harmony" that includes Barbershop and Philadelphia Doowop. The ensemble features 16-20 singers and performs for many school-related and civic functions during the school year. Their unique mixture of classic and popular styles has made them appealing to a wide range of audiences, as evidenced by the increased demand for their performances. 2007 - 08 Beg To Differ Members In its second year, the Studio Band takes advantage of the Bloodworth Studio (home to the school's state-of-the-art digital studio and innovative studio music program). Under the instruction and direction of John Hiltonsmith, the band performs rock n' roll hits at an annual spring concert.
