Violins- Viola- V SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNQAL Orchestra This year the orchestra was definitely organized as a regular symphony orchestra. Because of the lack of variety of instruments, the Board of Education has purchased and loaned them to the students. As a result, the orchestra is gradually developing a better balanced instrumentation. Every Wednesday afternoon rehearsals are held in the auditorium during eighth period. There is a movement started to hold rehearsals twice a week beginning next September, so the members can get regents credit for their work. The orchestra has appeared at several community events and has been praised highly for its performances. ROLL OF MEMBERS Conductor, George J.
