Every year, the student body participates in a competition where each grade level selects a theme and builds an entire performance around it.  Through careful, intricate planning, the students create a week’s worth of events in support of their theme.
Theme Day is meant to increase class unity as well as enhance school spirit.  The week’s events take months to prepare and just days to execute.  The students work tirelessly to assure that the performances, banners, cheers and all of the details are created and finished to perfection.

The week’s events are judged by a panel of judges, comprised of faculty and staff members selected by the student government (ASB).  These judges award points to every class based on their performance in each of the week’s categories. 
All of the points accumulated by the classes go towards the Spirit Point Competition that the students have every year.  The class that reaches the set goal of spirit points is awarded a special spirit holiday.

BANNER:
After each grade level has selected a theme, certain students will begin going to work creating a banner that represents both the class and their respective theme.  The banners are revealed by a small group of students and are presented to the entire campus on the day prior to the Theme Day performance.  These banners act as flags representing each theme and are judged by our panel of judges.

CHEER:
The class cheer is simply meant to enhance the full enthusiasm for Theme Day on the larger scale.  Each class has a theme that is written by the students and performed the night of the performance.  The judges are told to look for clarity, originality, presentation and organization.  Most of all, it is the enthusiasm and energy of the students that really makes the cheer.

PERFORMANCE:
Each grade level is judged on their performance in two separate sections.  The Entrance section is judged on creativity and the incorporation of their theme into the presentation of the class.   The second section is the dance section, which is judged based on the choreography, originality and loyalty to the theme selected by the class. Each performance is restricted to the time limit of 20 minutes.

COSTUMES:
The costumes will be judged based on their loyalty to the theme, variety, quality and originality.  Other criteria for the costumes portion have to do with the make-up, hairstyles, and accessories selected to accompany the costumes.

PROPS:
Like other categories, the props that are selected and used by each class will be judged by their own criteria.  Judges are instructed to look for quality, not quantity, creativity and originality and how well the props were used to enhance the student’s performance.

Overall, Theme Day is looked at as a rewarding experience and something that Providence students, old and new, talk about and reminisce for years.
