Mr. Ohlendorf is the Orchestra teacher at both YMS and YHS. When asked to describe working here at YMS for 2 years, he said, "YMS is fun, interesting, and always a new adventure to explore."
As he works with different types of instruments daily, he responded with a surprising "baritone" when asked what his favorite instrument was.
Going along with the last question, when asked what his favorite orchestra instrument is, he said the cello, which was unsurprising.
Working at YMS means working and interacting with students and staff throughout the school day; however, when asked who he enjoys working with most out of anyone he interacts with, he picked Mrs. Bray and Mrs. Belgum. However, this answer was not very surprising, as they tend to be two of the people he interacts with most throughout the school day.
Seeing as in past responses he enjoys both orchestra and band when asked which he preferred, the choice of orchestra wasn't shocking, seeing as he teaches the subject; however, with that, he stated that he preferred them equally in the topic of playing in either of the categories.
Seeing as Mr. Ohlendorf spends much of his time in the music room and his office, his favorite part of either of the rooms might have been his bow collection or his rubber duck, but no, it's the fridge in his office. When asked if he felt there was anything else he wanted people to know about him, he responded with a great big NO.
