Type of Concert: Pau Hana; Music and Dance from Asia and the Pacific General reaction: Overall‚ I was somewhat impressed with the majority of the performances.

The UH students in the Chinese‚ Japanese‚ Korean‚ and Hawaiian music courses performed at this concert. Composition

Concert Review: Bob Marley By Brock Oler Why do musicians make music? There’s obviously no simple answer.

Film Appreciation Reflection Paper My Film Viewing Journey As I’m writing this paper I have to think back to the beginning of this semester and what motivated me to register for this course. As a third year college student I have to admit‚ taking a class on Film Appreciation never crossed my mind before now.

One of the most important days of my life was seeing Avenged Sevenfold headline the Buried Alive Tour in San Jose.

Concert Review Paper On November 1‚ 2013‚ I had the pleasure of attending an indie pop concert by the band Two Door Cinema Club. The concert occurred on a late Friday evening at the Fox Theater in Pomona. When I arrived at the theater‚ I did not expect there to be as many people as there were. I imagined that because the band was associated as indie‚ the venue would not have been entirely sold out. The line to get in was very long as it wrapped around the block and it took close to an hour to
