[quote=Anonymous]To be brutally honest, the size of the school is a potential issue for the orchestra -- absent a conservatory, a la Oberlin, it may be hard for a liberal arts college to have enough musicians to field a full orchestra. I went to a LAC many years ago and played in the orchestra. There were some fine musicians there, and the string section was robust, but I don't think we ever had a full complement of wind instruments (e.g., oboe, bassoon, four french horns, three trombones, tuba .... we had plenty of clarinets, flutes, and trumpets) for the college ensembles. There was a community orchestra that students also played in, which was larger and generally had a full wind section. That may not be a deterrent depending on your kid's musical skills and interest level, but might be something to consider.[/quote]
