MVHS PERFORMING ARTS BOOSTERS
The Performing Arts Boosters is an organization whose purpose is to enhance the Performing Arts Programs at Manchester Valley High School. These programs include not only Instrumental and Choral Music but the Drama and Dance programs as well. We provide financial and moral support to the directors and students. One of the goals of the organization is to promote student participation in the programs and increase parental involvement in order to create a true partnership that will enrich our student’s high school experience.
The Performing Arts Boosters holds general meetings on the THIRD Wednesday EVERY OTHER MONTH in the Band Room at MVHS at 6:30pm. Committee meetings are held alternating months. Everyone is welcome to attend every meeting.

What is the International Thespian Society?
The International Thespian Society (ITS), founded in 1929, is an honorary organization for high school and middle school theatre students located at more than 4200 affiliated secondary schools across America, Canada, and abroad. The mission of ITS is to honor student achievement in the theatre arts. High school inductees are known as Thespians.
THESPIAN PLEDGE
"I promise to uphold the aims and ideals of the International Thespian Society. I am a student of theatre and excellence is my ideal. I promise to perform my part as well as I can; to accept praise and criticism with grace; to cooperate with my fellow Thespians and word for the good of the troupe, and to share my love of theatre."
