vORCHESTRA continued from page 21 Everyone has a story and the HerVoice staff wants to hear it! “I’ve had many chair partners and I can see growth in the chair partners as they play,” Wortmann said. “I see growth in myself as we play together and I’ve made lots of friends amongst the students.” Both agree that all the students are welcoming to the community members. Evander also pointed out that if it wasn’t for the orchestra, the two would never have met and become friends. On her way from Crofton, Wortmann picks up Evander and the two carpool over to Vermillion for rehearsals. With the long drive, 45 minutes each way from Crofton, they admitted they don’t always make to every rehearsal especially if there is inclement weather, but the time missed is made up with practices at home. “I don’t always get here because I have a really active other life besides orchestra,” Wortmann said. “I try to get to at least half or a little more than half if at all possible.” The USD orchestra has four concerts throughout the year including March 2 in Aalfs Auditorium in Slagle Hall. “When you come to the conclusion and do the concerts it just seems like it’s you are one big family,” Wortmann said. “You’ve worked so hard to get to that point.” Do you know someone who should be our Her Voice Cover Girl in 2017?
