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.

Day 1- Games "Human Knot"

Laguna Playhouse


Lunch Time

It has been an adventurous 2 days! It is so amazing to see the transformation these kids are going through. We had a wonderful evening at Verizon Amphitheatre witnessing Carmina Burana in all its glory led by Carl St. Clair alongside the Pacific Symphony.

Tonight we had a bonding activity where the students shared who they appreciated and most appreciated their parents so you all should be proud! :) Earlier, we saw "My Way" at the Laguna Playhouse (as photographed above). It was a tribute to the one and only, Frank Sinatra, and was an entertaining show with classic hits.

All the students are making new friends and are taking advantage of the opportunities thrown at them. Tomorrow will be an exciting and fun-filled day. We will be attending the Pageant of the Masters in Laguna. Stay tuned for more counselor updates! See you Tuesday!
