Description
The track is made in Fl Studio, I have used BBC Discover orchestra samples. The track is fully orchestral, and no additional effects or processing was used. It could be used to score a scene of seeing a star and thinking about the ideal life.

Theme:

Wish upon a star
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
The first part symbolizes the character living everyday life. Then the second part of the piece begins, it represents dreams and hopes, everything that could happen. In the third part theme from the beginning comes back but in a more uplifting mood, it shows the motivation for changing the world after thinking about what is possible.

I really like your orchestral approach and think your orchestration is very effective. The rising chords and bass line feel quite hopeful. I think this works well to describe the type of story you hint at. Good work and thank you for sharing!

BBCSO is awesome, I use it too! Happy to hear that you made use of most instruments. That was nice! I am still figuring out the percussion.  Little trick in FL Studio: click on the clock icon next to the mixer slider and set the track latency to 20-50 ms for the strings. I found them constantly lagging behind a bit until I figured out how to fix this. Looking forward to your next orchestral work!

This was a really good listen, I enjoyed the transition from everyday life into realizing the possibilities and then having it connect back to the first part. Really cool orchestral piece!

I loved those the little woodwind ostinatos that came in around 1:40, it was a great addition to lighten up the feel of the music!

Really cool orchestral track! One small nitpick I personally have is that the strings have to little release compared to their attack, as they get really quiet when they change, and it takes a while for them to get back to full volume, but I really like the melody, and it sounds really cool! Nice submission!
