"I Really Enjoyed the Drums"

When the reporter asked Mr. Hardy what his favorite performance was, he replied, "My favorite one was the 'Welcoming Spring' dance and 'The Udumbara's Bloom' ... and the fan dance.

He continued, "My granddaughter, daughter, and son-in-law came to see it tonight. They all really enjoyed it. My granddaughter especially, she comes to a lot of shows and with a lot of them she is bored--by intermission she's bored--but she wasn't bored tonight. She was looking forward to the second-half. She really enjoyed it."
