<p>I don’t think [in fact I am 98% sure] orchestra is a BSA [Brigade Support Activity]; it is most likely something like the religous choirs, i.e. the Catholic and Protestant choirs, that you may choose to participate in if you want. Thus, you would still be required to participate in a daily activity other than orchestra.
Contrasted, for example, with D&B which is a BSA and, therefore, “counts” as a required “ec.”</p>
<p>I am aware of several pianos being available in the yard. And, apparently, some VERY accomplished piano playing mids. I have not asked whether the orchestra includes a piano as we have not been able to catch a concert. The organ? THAT’S another issue altogether. The organ, and I know very little about organs, is supposedly one of the most sophisticated in the country. Installed last year, it has hundreds [?] of tubes, bells, or whatever you call those pipes.</p>
