What a year of growth for the Viper Players. 💜🎭

At this year’s banquet, we celebrated more than awards — we celebrated courage, hard work, and the many “firsts” that made this season so special.

Our first Lip Sync Battle.
Our first time attending Texas Junior Thespian Festival.
Our first National Qualifiers.
Our first student-directed productions.
And for many students, their first time acting onstage, running tech, taking a risk, or discovering their place in theatre.

Growth is not always easy. It is not always comfortable. Growth means stepping outside your comfort zone, trying something new, working harder than before, and showing up even when it feels scary.

To every student recognized at banquet: your award represents more than one moment. It represents your effort, your bravery, your growth, and the impact you made on our theatre family this year.

Mr. Weaver is so proud of you, Viper Players — and he is looking forward to soaring even higher next year and seeing where we land. 💜✨

Today’s 8th Grade Spotlight goes to our favorite orange-hoodie-wearing character… Joseph Harper! 🧡

Joe brings his own special signature to every character he plays and has grown so much this year. From his love of Hamilton to his DIY buttons and one-of-a-kind personality, Joe always finds a way to make theatre more fun, more creative, and more uniquely him.

We are so proud of the growth, humor, and heart he has brought to the Viper Players. Keep being bold, creative, and unapologetically Joe! 🎭✨
