For this project, you will need to plan ahead. You will need to attend a symphony orchestra concert, opera, or musical in order to complete it. As long as it is a symphony orchestra concert, opera, or a musical, any event is OK. If you go to a musical, if possible, try to find a "professional" rather than "community production. In any case, you must find a way to see the orchestra at some point in the performance (they are usually in the "pit"—and yes, that's what it's called). Attending a live performance is always best, but if you have difficulty finding one or affording the ticket cost, you may view a performance on YouTube or at pbs.org. You must include the specific site as a source.
