If your D doesn’t mind going off campus for music, I would recommend the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra. It is linked to the professional orchestra, and rehearsals are held in Powell Symphony Hall each week, which is only about 10 minutes from WashU campus. WashU isn’t known for having a strong music program, so several students who attend opt for the Youth Orchestra. WashU also has an opera each year that employs Youth Orchestra musicians rather than its own from the university; I believe it pays $150 for 3 rehearsals and 3 performances.
