Meet The Orchestra
Testimonials
Barbara Reid
“The full ensemble sound is exciting. You can't get that from YouTube, or a private teacher, or a small ensemble. I love that we can have a full percussion section.”
Stephen Williams
“What is special about this group is the collegiality and sense of ‘Town’ feel. You can develop friendships and this group is supportive of each other. The calibre of playing is great and after each concert there is a great sense of accomplishment.”
Monique Gazan
“Throughout the years I developed lasting friendships, undertook various leadership roles within the organization and enjoyed the Tuesday evening break from chores, work and family commitments. Some Tuesdays it was sheer drudgery to attend amidst the busyness of life, but I always managed to make it out to rehearsal, share a chuckle with my section mates and return home a refreshed person.”
Wayne Rideout
“I love the high skill level of the membership, the intensive 2-hour rehearsals each week and the hard work ethic Chris Arthurs exhibits. I made friendships with other members who also like to laugh and work hard. I learn something every week.”
