year. They prepare and present many things, such as the school musical, and many smaller, student produced works. School musical The school musical is a high point not only for the drama department, but for all of the performing arts at Hunter. Members of the choir often join the cast for the play along with the drama students, and the Wind Ensemble and Orchestra combine for the Pit Orchestra, which provides the music. Recent productions include The King and I (2004), Beauty and the Beast (2005), Camelot (2006), The Wizard of Oz (1987 stage play) (2007),Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (2008 and 2014), White Christmas (2009), Bye Bye Birdie (2010), How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (2011), Sound of Music (2012), and West Side Story (2013). Competitions The members of the Drama Department compete in a large competition in the spring. They prepare either group pieces to be acted out, or scenes that can be performed alone. There are very many categories that these fall under, ranging from comedy to dramatic, to pantomime. In 1999 the department took second place overall in the Utah State Dramatic Competition. Dance Company This is a performing arts group that performs at various school functions, including some football games, basketball games, dance concerts and assemblies. In addition, they participate in state competitions, district festival and state adjudication. Every year around April, Dance Company hosts their annual dance concert. The past few years' concerts have been Priceless..., Surrender to the Beat, and Dream it, Live it, Dance it. The company performs styles including modern, jazz, tap, Fosse, Broadway, ballet, contemporary, and lyrical. Dance Company is open to all students of Hunter High, although students wishing to be on the company are required to pass an audition.
