Our Pampa High School Visual and Performing Arts programs offer students an advanced, immersive experience, with opportunities to pursue their artistic passions and develop their talents to the highest level. Students can choose from specialized courses in art, choir, theater, and band, each designed to refine their skills, encourage personal expression, and foster a commitment to excellence.
In Art, students explore advanced techniques in drawing, painting, sculpture, and mixed media, diving into projects that allow for personal expression and technical mastery. High school art students can participate in the Visual Arts Scholastic Event (VASE), a prestigious competition where they showcase their artwork, receive feedback from professionals, and compete for recognition and awards.
For students with a passion for music, our Choir and Band programs offer rigorous training and a variety of performance and competition opportunities. In choir, students develop vocal technique, harmonization, and ensemble performance skills, and they are introduced to Musical Theater, which blends acting and singing in vibrant productions. Choir students participate in both regional and state competitions, where they can earn individual and group honors. Band students, in addition to concert performances, are introduced to Marching Band, a dynamic combination of music and movement that builds discipline, stamina, and teamwork. The marching band performs at football games, school events, and competitions, creating memorable experiences for students and the community alike.
Our Theater program offers students the chance to delve deeply into acting, stage production, and the craft of storytelling. High school theater students have the opportunity to compete in UIL One-Act Play and other regional competitions, gaining experience and accolades as they bring powerful performances to the stage.
Each element of our High School Visual and Performing Arts programs is designed to challenge and inspire students, preparing them not only for further artistic pursuits but for success beyond high school. Whether in art exhibitions, vocal and instrumental competitions, musical theater, theater performances, or marching band shows, our students proudly represent their skills, dedication, and creativity, making valuable contributions to our school and community. Our Visual and Performing Arts programs at the high school level empower students to achieve excellence, pursue their passion, and cultivate a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
