Yep, I'm still there. At this point there are only 3 or 4 people left who were there when the orchestra started in 1993. I'm one of them.

The music that we're doing this semester isn't the most exciting we've ever done. But hey, at least we're doing a little Pirates of the Caribbean.

Pirates of the Caribbean? The sounds strangely family. Almost like it was a thread that got so off track but managed to actually make it's turn back!

I can imagine you developed a bond with those 3-4 people from the 90's, am I wrong?

Playing Pirates in the orchestra is what triggered this thread. The piece that we're playing is pretty short, so I got on the internet and looked for something longer to listen to. I found a compilation of the soundtracks for all for movies that lasts for over 2 hours. It's basically a Pirates orgy lol.

One of the remaining original orchestra members is another clarinet player so I've been sitting next to him or close to him for 20+ years. The others are in different sections of the orchestra, so I know them by sight but have never really talked to them. There are 80 or so people in the group sitting in assigned sections, and when we get the chance to talk it's mostly with the people who sit close to us.

A lot of the old pipe organs were installed in cathedrals so they tend to be super fancy. Here's a representative sample. If you google pipe organ and look at the image results you'll see more.

The first picture in my last post looks more like a cave formation than a musical instrument lol.
