Students with a love of the arts can enjoy music, theatre, and dance on campus. The student talent maintains active programs of plays, musicals, operas, concerts, and dance. Any student may audition. The Symphonic Band, Concert Band, Jazz Bands, and Lamar Chamber Orchestra each give campus concerts and perform at many community events, frequenting Beaumont's historical Julie Rogers Theatre. Numerous small groups of brass, woodwind, and string ensembles provide wonderful opportunities for student musicians. The A Cappella Choir and the Grand Choir sing both on and off campus. The Cardinal Singers are a popular attraction with audiences statewide. Opera Theatre presents an opera production every year. The Lamar Dance Company features jazz, modern dance, ballet, and Afro-Caribbean dance, presenting a concert during each long semester. Dance company members also perform in musical theatrical productions and in smaller groups. Musicals and plays are produced each semester and aspiring actors often perform with dinner theater and children's theater groups.
