The teachers and students of New Oriental Art School dedicated a Mid-Autumn Song and Dance Party to everyone at the CHANDLER Art Center Theater to celebrate the festival. Nearly a thousand spectators watched the performance. The party was jointly hosted by New Oriental Art School and ASU Confucius Institute. During the more than two-hour party, the students spared no effort to present Chinese ethnic dances, martial arts, piano performances and other performances to the audience. The entire cast of the show is composed entirely of students from the New Oriental Art School. The party's director and stage design were also performed by teachers from the school themselves. After the performance, Lu Lihua, the principal of New Oriental Art School, was interviewed by reporters. Principal Lu told reporters: This Mid-Autumn Festival Gala is actually the school’s academic performance. The purpose of the party is mainly to showcase the students' academic performance in the past school year and review the teachers' teaching achievements, and also to prepare for next year's Spring Festival Gala. At the same time, it is also to repay the Chinese community in Alberta for their support and care for New Oriental Art School over the years. Principal Lu said affectionately: “We are very grateful for the support from all walks of life, especially the Confucius Institute for its great help, and most of all, we are grateful to the parents for their strong assistance and the class mothers for their hard work!” Before the party started, a student painting exhibition was held in the front hall of the theater. Also held were early childhood education consultation activities hosted by ASU professor Dr. Jill Stamm and her students.
