The GSO is the first collegiate ensemble exclusively devoted to performing orchestral arrangements of video game music and using that music as an educational tool. The orchestra began humbly in late 2005 with six members and now boasts a roster of more than 100 musicians, including 30 singers. In addition to performing, GSO members organize yearly video game tournaments that raise money for Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
