Winter Spring Musical Callbacks

MC:
In a tucked away corner of D hall
Just past orchestra and band
Lies a world of pure imagination
That other kids just don’t understand

But I don’t care cuz to me it’s where my dreams will be fulfilled
Mountain Valley High School Theatre Guild
And though today might seem like any other boring day
There’s a very special mission taking place A competition, an ancient “Tradition!” Or so we say

Ohh

And out of all the days in the year
The most important one is here
