Rambler Reflections:
"This concert's music was some of the most challenging repertoire we've played yet, and I think we came together really well as an orchestra. We had a fun concert, and it was great to see so many people come out to support us." — Jack Ehlert '25
"Hearing how well both the Symphony and Honors Orchestras came together to bring forth and perform a variety of different pieces to our audience’s ears gives me great joy and satisfaction as a member of the Symphony Orchestra. At first, I was under the impression that as a freshman, I would have difficulty assimilating myself with others and finding 'my fit' within it all. But during this short time, I can say with full passion that here at Loyola—regardless of your background or ability—we all come together as Ramblers. From art to music, and everything in between, there is something for everyone." — Matthew Mlope '28
