It took a lot of time and work for the WIU Symphony Orchestra to prepare for its concert with Kansas.
Many students in the orchestra saw this concert as a once in a lifetime opportunity. But just what does it take to prepare for this type of show? Lots and lots of practice.
Not only had many students never played alongside a classic rock band before, but some say they had to learn how to play new time signatures. It was a challenging process, but judging by the both the orchestra and crowd's reaction, it was well worth the effort.
