We do have an orchestra. I have heard from those who have been in it that its not a particularly rigorous program. Unless you are hoping to be a world class flutist, I think what you get out of orchestra is a function of how much you put in.

I hope though that you aren’t choosing schools based solely on an extracurricular. We have tons of other activities. Volunteering is big at Georgetown. I have a friend who heads GU Melody–a program that teaches youth music at local YMCAs. Georgetown is also home of GUGS–the grilling society. We have some highly active political groups. If all else fails, there is always something to do in the city. The Kennedy Center has free performances every day.
