Day Two was full of fun for the arts-X-press artists. 
After our morning Creative Expression and
Arts W
orkshops and a fantastic lunch in the cafeteria, including plenty of ice cream and a chance to talk with the 
Symphony musicians who joined us, we headed off to the Fullerton Civic Light Opera to see Smokey 
Joe’s Café, a musical based on the music of Elvis Presley. The students thoroughly enjoyed the performance 
along with the a
mazing talk-back they had with the actors following the performance. A 
popular question for the actors 
was how they prepared for their stage careers.
After we returned from the performance,
the students hurried 
on over to eat dinner and then got the chance to meet musicians from the Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra. The musicians spoke 
with us a little about who they were, what instrument they play and how they like being in the Youth Orchestra.
From there, all the arts-X-pressers took part in a Spotlight Theatre Workshop. We’ve got some very talented actors on our hands! As a wrap up for the night, we had bonding, where the students got to sit and share one person who they
ap
preciate at home and one person who they appreciate at arts-X-press. 
It’s amazing to hear how everyone has developed all these friendships after 
only two days. The students are really connecting with one another and the arts-X-press MAGIC is really coming alive this week!

It is a wonderful thing to be able to see what you are all up to. Better yet is seeing Congher's smiling face!
Wow! You all look so busy.. I can't wait to see Sarah in one of these pictures! How are the 3 minute showers going?
