UIL

Theater students, on both technical and thespian sides, are used to challenges; in addition to keeping theater fun, challenges can mean greater rewards.

Marble Falls High School (MFHS) theater teacher Jon Clark knew any Arthur Miller drama would be a good learning experience for students.

"It's been challenging from an acting standpoint, and from the technical side, so it's been really intense in a short amount of time,” Clark said. “I hope what we’re doing is something pretty cool and good theater."

Marble Falls Middle School (MFMS) 7th and 8th grade choirs came from a University Interscholastic League (UIL) competition at the Georgetown High School Performing Arts Center on Monday, March 7, clutching plenty of trophies.

“All four choirs were honored, so me and Mrs. Angela Williamson (MFMS assistant director of choirs) are really proud,” said Megan Goodman, MFMS director of choirs. “It’s the sixth year in a row MFMS choirs have taken home Sweepstakes and Superior honors at UIL contest.”

The Varsity Women's Choir, Varsity Men's Choir and the Varsity Mixed choir (Cantare) all received straight 1’s in Stage and Sight Reading, earning them the coveted Sweepstakes trophy.

“It’s the best you can get,” Goodman said.
