Final Paper by Cherith

During the program I was exposed to a variety of different performances. I am very grateful for the opportunity and learned very much from my experience.

Without On Stage I might never have seen an opera, an orchestra or a Taiko drumming group. These performances have been very enriching ones for me, sometimes pulling me from my established tastes to see something fresh and new and often surprisingly wonderful. Some of the performances I did not like (orchestra), but at least it was based off of personal experience now as opposed to simply assuming that I would not like it. Some things embedded themselves quite thoroughly into my heart (Aida). I will highly recommend this program to anyone who asks. It was an awesome way to get an English credit! I loved meeting the performers and hearing them, and I was really impressed with our consistently amazing seats! Thank you again for the amazing experience!
