Cultural Expansion: Participating in a performing arts group or ensemble (6 pts) 

November 18, 2025 

    Tonight was the AUC Symphony Orchestra’s Fall Concert; I play 2nd trombone in the ensemble. I’ve been playing since 5th grade, but I was really skeptical about bringing my instrument to college. I love orchestral music, however, and didn’t think I could stomach never playing. This first semester was kind of light for wind players like me, however, as we only played on one song, but supposedly next semester is supposed to get a bit harder. I’m excited for a challenge that isn’t all-consuming.
