Imagine it now: musicians in cow onesies, cellifish (marine violoncellos!), undergraduates and graduate students (as babies and senior citizens, respectively) and “Squid Game” violinists, all of these costumed musicians playing a combination of movie soundtracks and classical music.


But it also means the annual Halloween concert, put on by the Stanford Symphony Orchestra and the Stanford Wind Symphony. For high-schoolers, it either means sketchy basement parties or handing out candy to other people’s little brothers amidst the homework grind.įor Stanford kids, it means dancing on tombs at “Maus,” the traditional Mausoleum party. For my brother, it means donning his store-bought werewolf cape and hunting for Skittles and the occasional king-sized Hershey’s bar from our neighbors. Halloween is versatile - it bears many different definitions depending on the kind of person you are.
