Members have performed with ensembles such as the Omaha Symphony Orchestra, Lincoln's Symphony Orchestra, Nebraska Jazz Orchestra, Dallas Symphony, Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Mannheim Steamroller. Members have also toured and performed throughout the United States, Europe, South America, Japan, Australia and the Caribbean with numerous musical ensembles.
