The Foothills Phil started in January of 1993. In May of that year, the orchestra performed for the first time at Esperero Canyon Middle School in their multi-purpose room. Today the orchestra is performing in the Catalina Foothills High School auditorium which has a capacity of over 500. Musicians of all ages are encouraged to become members of this intergenerational orchestra. If you are interested, or know anyone else who might be interested in performing with The Foothills Phil, please contact Judi Botwin at Community Schools, 577-5304.
