ISC Activities
This October was full of great events including Fright Fest at Six Flags Magic Mount and the ISC Halloween party. At the Halloween Party, we enjoyed many festivities including movies, games, food, and a concert performed by a group of our visual and performing arts students. They provided fantastic entertainment while displaying their skills to our packed lounge.
This month also kicks off the holiday season! We have many great things planned for ISC students to feel the holiday spirit this season. In November, we are having our Thanksgiving Pie Party. And, soon after, the ISC Holiday Party kicks off the Holiday Break with a holiday feast and karaoke! The end of 2019 is looking bright for all ISC students!
Night of Music in Film
A Night of Music from Film is a massive multimedia event featuring dozens of Citrus College students, including a few ISC students. The show consists of Citrus College’s 60-piece Sierra Winds Symphony and soloists. It is an inspiring night of reliving the most memorable moments from film coupled with their iconic scores performed in perfect harmony by our student musicians. We are proud to have this show at Citrus College. This yearly production is always a fantastic, inspiring show displaying the intertwined and inseparable connection between music and film.
