Wong and other upper school flutists play "The Bar Talk Trilogy." This song was also played at the Winter Concert last week. Sophomore Camden Forster is a member of the upper school orchestra and plays violin. Forster said that playing in the Zeller Student Center affected the quality of their sound.
