Attention all test subjects. Due to an improvement in test results, it is protocol to administer a suitable reward. Thus, the Aperture Science Enrichment Center would like to provide you with an a cappella production. However, due to unforeseen technical issues, our sentry turrets will not be able to perform at this time. The Gamer Symphony Orchestra choir will be taking their place as their vocal talents will be an adequate substitute. You will notice a variety of percussive elements, as well as a prominent vocal solo line designed to capture your attention during the event. You may rest assured that this is not a test, rather it is an opportunity for you to enjoy the finer aspects of this facility. Hold tight to your Companion Cubes and enjoy this rendition of the Aperture Science-sponsored classic, “Still Alive.” Cake will be available in the lobby after the performance.

The Gamer Symphony Orchestra is a student-run symphonic orchestra consisting of more than 120+ musicians, including a full choir. Since our establishment in 2005, we have strived to promote video game music as an art form and to continue bringing video game worlds to life through orchestral arrangements - almost all of which are created by our own members.
