Week 2: DAY FOUR

So today was the day that was going to be spent completely on the UCI Campus. The students went about their morning routine of breakfast, Creative Expression and then Arts Workshops.

From there, they went to lunch where once again, they were joined by Symphony musicians who ate with the students and talked with them. From there, the musicians gave the students an Instrumental Spotlight Workshop. Here, the students got to make music with each other and show off their music to their fellow arts-X-press friends.

A short bathroom break, then the students had time to do some final preparations for the Talent Show which would follow the Parent Presentation.

Then it was time for our Dance Spotlight Workshop with Kristine. The students had a blast getting to interact with each other as they danced their hearts out.

It was time for dinner. Everyone sat with their Arts Workshop, a little time to discuss their presentation which was quickly approaching.

At the Parent Presentation, we had amazing performances from all the Arts Workshops and some very impressive works from our Creative Expression groups!

But that wasn’t the end of our night because it was time for the Talent Show! With counselors in charge of running the Talent Show, the students all presented some amazing acts. We had singers and instrumentalists and dancers and jokes and actors, etc! So much talent in one room!

It was then time for a little arts-X-press party! Time for the students to just hang out and have a little fun with each other, staff and counselors! Once the party was over, everyone went back to the dorms to get some sleep.
