Transporting a busload of kids to an auditorium and putting on a show only offers a superficial connection to the arts event and in many cases, it only acts to further alienate young audiences from the arts.  Without a context for the experience, the concert, play, or opera is an isolated incident at best and boring at worst - William J. Byrnes 

from Management and the Arts p. 59
