"I joined orchestra because I liked the sound of the cello.  I heard someone playing the cello part to 'Happy Blues' and it was love at first sight.  The reason I stayed in orchestra was because I didn't want people to think I was a quitter.  Now I can't imagine where I'd be without cello." -Erica, cello

"I like orchestra because I get to play an instrument I like with my friends.  It's just a fun way to express myself." -Sean, violin
