about the ensembles The Kennesaw State University Trumpet Ensemble has experienced tremendous growth over the last four years, now boasting nearly 20 members and a diverse calendar of performance opportunities. Recently, the ensemble travelled to the International Trumpet Guild conference, and performed a prelude concert before a nighttime showcase concert. The ensemble has also played at the Trumpet Festival of the Southeast, competed at the National Trumpet Competition, and been a featured ensemble at KSU for events ranging from the annual trumpet holiday concert to the opening of the Skip-Spann connector. The Harrison Orchestra Program is a part of the Cobb County School s Fine Arts program. It is nestled in the beautiful Georgia pines of Kennesaw, Georgia, and is home to one of the fastest growing areas in the nation. Harrison High School currently houses over 2,000 students in grades 9-12 and is consistently rated among the best schools in the county, state and national level. The program consists of four orchestras Concert Orchestra, Classic Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, and the Harrison Symphony Orchestra. The Concert Orchestra is composed of mostly freshmen that come mainly from the following middle schools: Durham Middle School (Jennifer Aikey, director), Lost Mountain Middle School (Linda Stephens, director), or McClure Middle School (Clare Mansell, director). Kennesaw State University Philharmonic Orchestra is an orchestra for string players from across the university, including players who are nonmusic majors or music majors wishing to perform on a secondary string instrument. Playing in the Philharmonic is a great way for KSU students to continue enjoying musical experiences throughout their college years. The orchestra performs a wide variety of string orchestra literature from different time periods. The orchestra is under the direction of Professor Christopher Thibdeau and rehearses on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:00-3:15 p.m. in the Bailey Performance Center. Each semester the orchestra performs approximately two concerts and collaborates with members of the KSU Wind Symphony to form a full symphony orchestra.
