The orchestra
Disney's All-American College Orchestra brought college musicians to Walt Disney World every summer from 1984 to 1998. Each class spent a season rehearsing and performing together, with the America Gardens Theatre at Epcot as its home stage. Founding director Jim Christensen, co-founder Bob Radock, and Ron Logan, founder of Disney's college musician program, built something its alumni still gather to celebrate.
