THANKS UPmom! You sound like Dallas’ “society” hasn’t gone to your head, unlike everyone else in the bubble. I wish we could see our children attend the symphony, appreciate the arts TRULY, and recognize them as time honored and true. As for MOB, I have seen UP firsthand, and I am not sure what HP kids you are talking about. Everyone I’ve seen listens to house music and has no appreciation for the arts.

Thanks, MOB. I feel alot better now. Still think it would be great to see these able bodied kids actually attend one of Jaap’s concerts at the Meyerson. Maybe along side the kids they raised money for?

Most kids going just see the blow out party aspect of it.

There are lots of bright kids in HP who love the arts. They appreciate fine art, they play instruments and they love good music. They have been exposed to the arts and to giving. They will go on to have good jobs and will continue to support the arts. No worries.

If only any of the 2000 Dallas area high school kids who go to thie party would actually attend the symphony themselves, now that would improve the future of the fine arts. Why don’t we encourage our kids to attend the DSO? You know, attend a concert, then have a big party?

The future of the arts depends on bright, educated patrons. How will these kids fill the shoes of the Prothros, the Basses, and countless arts donors in the DFW area?
