A Little Bit of Our History
It takes a great deal of thankless work, and countless hours of planning and organizing
to run an orchestra. It takes many people to accomplish this, and here we would like to
acknowledge and thank our presidents, who have provided the leadership and direction that
made Hillsboro Symphony Orchestra what it is today.

Diane Moser 2001 - 2003

Our 2006 logo contest
In 2006, we held a contest to design a new logo for HSO. Several wonderful designs were submitted. Leisha Huskey's
entry was selected by the Orchestra to be our new logo. Designs were also submitted
by Blake Clodfelter, Perry Ogan, Ed Ramsden, Anirudd Sharma and Tim Reeves.
Thanks to all who contributed.
