The students participate in a behind the scenes Universal Music Workshop, where they play a piece of music that makes the prepared scene come alive.
"Personally, i think something like this is a really great experience for you all to see, and especially if you want to pursue a career in theme parks, theme park entertainment, we're here to answer your questions." Maddie Ross, coordinator of entertainment events at Universal, said. "I hope you guys are inspired and you've learned something."
The students also helped voice act, create sound effects using the Foley method, and voted on sound effects that were provided by the instructor and their team. "I thought is was a super fun experience. I thought it was a little bit pricey for what it was." Sophomore Nate Kershman said. "I felt like I would've appreciated a little bit more time at the music experience and getting to learn that aspect of it. But as someone who wants to go into that industry, it was very enlightening and I'm really glad I got to do it."
