FROBOZZ PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA
In 732 GUE, the Frobozz Philharmonic Orchestra was founded, consisting
of nine instrumental sections that align to form a crescent moon shape,
filling half of the Z'orchestral amphitheater. Because of the woeful lack
of orchestral music in existence, the Frobozz Philharmonic Orchestra usually settled for playing
baroque versions of old folk tunes and popular dance numbers. Because
of this, nothing of even the vaguest interest to anyone is played for
seven years.
In 739 GUE, the Frobozz Philharmonic Orchestra performed their first (and last) decent symphony. The
piece was notable because of the age of its author, a precocious
eleven-year-old named Johann Sebastian.
As
he matured, Johann would write many much longer symphonies with
decreasing popularity (No reasonable postulation has been made to
explain Johann's lack of popularity. It is the belief of this author
that the short attention span of the general public precluded it from
sitting still for the whole of one of his symphonies.) His Symphony
#981, for example, so-called “The Infinite Symphony,” contained over
60,000 movements. During its only performance, several members of the
orchestra retired and had to be replaced with their children, and,
eventually their children’s children.
On Curse Day of 883 GUE, the Frobozz Philharmonic Hall, home of the
renowed orchestra, was destroyed along with the remainder of
Flatheadia. The Frobozz Philharmonic Orchestra continued to life on
despite this tremendous set back.
At the age of 13, Sophia
Hamilton joined the Frobozz Philharmonic Orchestra in 918. Not only
would this talentest violinist be well renowned, in 924, she would go
on to erect the Zork's first private musical conservatory: the
Zork Musical Academy for Girls at the Frigid River Branch Conservatory.
Here young women would attend before being enrolled in the Frobozz
Philharmonic school. Under her managment it quickly became Zork's
finest academy.
