Get ready for an insightful and hilarious dive into the high-stakes world of competitive high school orchestra! Hosts Vicki and Rithik of the Tomkins Orchestra podcast welcome two special guests: Arjun, a successful senior violinist, and Dhruv, a freshman violist.

In this must-listen episode, we break down the recent region orchestra auditions and look ahead to the upcoming area auditions.

You'll also get some freshman perspective: Hear Dhruv’s "very novel perspective" on his first high school audition experience, including the shock of seeing all the region's top players gathered in the same room.

The group also discusses the excitement of the high school orchestra's structure and freedom, and previews their ambitious upcoming performance: scoring the 1920 silent film classic, Nosferatu, live.

Don't be a bum—tune in now for tips, laughs, and generational thoughts!
