Orchestra performed at their Christmas concert on the night of Dec. 9. It was held in the theater.

“It’s fun to play with a group because it’s not just your skills individually but everyone’s talent culminates into one group effort,” senior Tommy Hasler said. 

The orchestra members enjoy working with each other throughout the year.

“I really like the people in orchestra like my section. We are all buddies; we have nicknames for each other and I think that’s really fun because it helps team building and we are more willing to work on things that we do in orchestra if we like each other,” senior Emmaline Lewarne said.

Some musicians have been playing since they were in elementary school. Lewarne started playing the violin when she was in third grade. As for Hasler, he’s been playing the violin since he was four. He now plays the base that he started playing in middle school. Both still enjoy being a part of orchestra and felt like the concert went well. 

“It went really well, I think we did a good job with blending and overall just having a good time because having a good time is the most important part,” Lewarne said.

Orchestra holds multiple concerts throughout the year.

“You know it’s fun,” Hasler said. “We do have concerts that are free, so feel free to come.”
