Wow - what a great arts-X-press 2007 reunion we had! It was great to see so many students and their families & friends turn out for our reunion on September 8th. Not only did the students get a chance to see some of their friends and staff from this summer, but they also got to meet students from other sessions.
For some this was the first time seeing a concert at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. Week 1 students, though, were on familiar grounds, as one of their excursions was to the Pacific Symphony's Gershwin concert at Verizon Wireless during their program.
After gathering by the box office and getting our tickets, we took a little walk from the entrace up to the lawn section to get settled. I bet lots of memories of our walks from Middle Earth to the Arts Quad were coming back really fast!
Once we were settled on the lawn, Darci lead everyone in some announcements and updates - which were much easier to hear thanks to use of counselor Garret's bullhorn! Then it was dinner time arts-X-press style! It was great to see the students get together and chat with each 
other over dinner. Families to were able to see first hand some of the great bonds that had formed between the students, counselors and staff.

After dinner the concert started. What could be better than 
sitting under a beautiful summer night's sky while listening to the Pacific Symphony? The concert concluded with the 1812 Overture with real cannon blasts and firew
orks galore! It was a perfect way to celebrate arts-X-press 2007!
