Someone who plays in an orchestra here?
Hii, i'm Frances and i play the flute. I am also a part of an orchestra (mostly strings plus me and two clarinets) and i wanted to ask, what are your favourite little things about playing in an orchestra?
Mine is the little clap that our conductor gives us after we finish a concert before she turns to the audience and bows. And one more - the bond formed between musicians who make silly faces at each other during rehearsals (aka me and the drums guy)
Hey Frances @reservedLemon3164, lovely to meet you :) The flute is such a lovely instrument and playing in an orchestra sounds amazing! I've only ever played in an orchestra once or twice as Clarinet 4 or something and had the most basic parts haha but I find it amazing how all the instruments come together to make a beautiful sound
(unlike Tom's one-cat band haha)
