Based on auditions, fourteen young musicians from Garden City Middle School have been selected to play in orchestras outside of school. All of the orchestras maintain very high admission standards, and are considered outstanding. "These are the most prestigious orchestras that students can gain acceptance to," commented music teacher, Mrs. Margaret Gullotta (pictured, at left).
