A "Spectacular" Weekend


Hey everybody! I’m so excited to tell you about my weekend! I’m in the college Honors program, which means we have to attend 4 special events each year and reflect upon them. There are 8 events total and we get to choose between them. The first opportunity was Saturday night. We went to Cincinnati Music Hall to watch the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra’s “A John Williams Spectacular”. John Williams is a well known composer who wrote works including the Olympic Fanfare, music for Indiana Jones and most of the soundtrack for Star Wars. During the second half of the performance, Anthony Daniels, the actor who played C3PO, came on stage to narrate! He did an incredible job and kept the crowd laughing throughout the story. At the end of the show, he was joined by the real R2D2, as well as Darth Vader, the Emperor, a storm trooper and an imperial pilot among others. It was a very cool experience, and it was no cost to the students; we even got to try food at an Indian restaurant before the show! For any students already at WC or considering WC, I’d definitely recommend checking out the Honors Program :)
