Performing Arts and China
In May 2008, the A.C. Reynolds Symphonic Winds Ensemble and the Chorale were extended an invitation to be good-will ambassadors and cultural representatives to the People's Republic of China by the US-China Cultural and Educational Foundation. The two groups engaged in a ten day tour in the Spring of 2009 in Beijing and the surrounding areas. A.C. Reynolds is the only public high school to have been extended this invitation since the foundation's founding in 1996. Principal Dr. Regina Lambert went to China with them.

Famous quotes containing the words performing arts, performing, arts and/or china:
“More than in any other performing arts the lack of respect for acting seems to spring from the fact that every layman considers himself a valid critic.”
—Uta Hagen (b. 1919)
“And no one, it seemed, had had the presence of mind
To initiate proceedings or stop the wheel
From the number it was backing away from as it stopped:
It was performing prettily; the puncture stayed unseen....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“As far as the arts and the sciences are concerned, the German mind appreciates most highly that which it does not understand of the latter, and that which it does not enjoy of the former.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“It all ended with the circuslike whump of a monstrous box on the ear with which I knocked down the traitress who rolled up in a ball where she had collapsed, her eyes glistening at me through her spread fingers—all in all quite flattered, I think. Automatically, I searched for something to throw at her, saw the china sugar bowl I had given her for Easter, took the thing under my arm and went out, slamming the door.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
