Orchestra
The CLOC orchestra, affectionately known as The Highfield Philharmonic, is an eighteen plus member pit orchestra. They rehearse at the Highfield Theater from 10:00-12:30 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, and from 2:00 to 5:30 on Saturday. There is a matinee at 2:00 p.m. on Thursdays. The schedule is subject to change depending on the requirements of each of the nine productions.
In addition to the regular season of nine shows, CLOC proudly participates in events that elevate our local community of Falmouth, MA. Examples of such events include an Independence Day Concert, an annual orchestra concert at the Cape Cod Conservatory, as well as volunteer-based opportunities such as performing at donor events.
Orchestra and Vocal Company members are assigned weekly tasks that help keep the campus running, examples include setting out plates at dinner time and helping clean the rehearsal space. In addition, orchestra and VC members are assigned alternating weeks to assist on Saturday night strike and changeover, under the direction of the technical crew. This participation is integral to making a show in a week possible.
