Arts-X-press is a summer arts immersion program for 7th and 8th grade students created by the Pacific Symphony in celebration of Cole Carsan St.Clair. 150 students are nominated by teachers throughout Orange County to come together for 5 days of creative exploration each summer. The program has two goals: 1) To expose students to all 5 performing and visual arts; and 2) To foster respect for and interest in each student’s individuality, talents, interests, and background.

The Last Full Day

Brought to you by the counselors:

We finally had fast food today... a fast food rap! The students got really creative at the talent show after the Parent Presentation. We had guitar solos, comedy skits, elegant instrumentals, and a whole bunch of cheesy but enjoyable jokes. As we sit here in our delirium, we realize that in less than seven hours, we will be waking your kids up to prepare them to come home to you. Just for future reference, your kids love fruit with every meal and three minute showers. In short, we really enjoyed being counselors this week and we hope you continue to encourage their involvements in the arts. PASSION! And remember, "You can not possess what you will not pursue."
