November News is Here!

October gave us plenty to fall in love with! From the creativity and talent on display at Fall Fest to the incredible music at our Choir and Band Concert, our COFA artists had a busy month! Our dancers took their talents to Fullerton College's High School Dance Day, while Theatre kept audiences guessing with their fall production of Clue. With so much to celebrate, we're excited to see what November has in store! Check out our highlights and upcoming events below!
