Wow - if I had played more recently than 40 years ago, that sounds like a lot of fun!

Only asking this out of curiosity. Does the area need more than one orchestra? I have no issue with it just wondering if there is some issue among some local musicians with the BVSO. More opportunity is always better.

I used to play with the BVSO on occasion but it's been many years. Wouldn't mind getting involved in a community band though.

BVSO is professional now. It started as a community orchestra but many years ago went pro. There are people who want to play but not professionally. A&M has an orchestra as well, but I am not sure if it is a full orchestra or string orchestra.

With both school districts having strong string and band programs, it is nice if there is a place for the kids who want to try full orchestra.

Playing Beethoven's 1st to get started. Next week, rehearsing 3rd and 4th mvmt.

Come join us - we are having fun. We need at least two more basses, percussionists, as many violas as we can find, and an oboe. Depending on what we play next, we will need more brass.

Practicing every Thursday, 7-9 pm.

Only if the bagpiper can also play the oboe. Which is totally possible.

To answer questions: No, you do not need to bring a stand or the music. We will provide both. You do need your own instrument.

And a great time was had by all!

Hopefully a lot of the people who visited will make plans to come back in the spring.

We still are looking for trombone players, a contrabasson and upper strings, especially violas!
