Good afternoon, Orchestra Families,

 

A few reminders for a very orchestral October, kicking off with Orchestra Breakfast Wednesday and our Fall Concert Thursday! 

 

  • We had a great fall Movie Night Saturday!  Check out @miltonorchestra (official) and @miltonsinfonia (student-run) on Instagram for pictures.  Beginning with our concert Thursday, students and parents registered through Membership Toolkit will be able to upload event photos directly to our Milton Orchestra SmugMug account to share with others. 
  • Visit https://www.miltonorchestra.org/calendar for a full schedule of events
  • ORCHESTRA BREAKFAST: Orchestra leadership has organized a breakfast pot-luck for tomorrow (Wednesday).  Make or pick up something (muffins, bagels, pop tarts, coffee, orange juice, etc.) to share and come hang out for a few minutes in the orchestra room around 7:45 am.  
  • Spring Trip payments were due 10/2.  Some accounts might have shown different dates or sent out different notices, so please go by the original schedule to complete your first $300 payment today if you haven't already.  Info at: https://www.miltonorchestra.org/trip
  • Mark your calendars for our 8th Grade Picnic with NMS on 10/20- all students should plan to attend after school to help welcome our future Milton Orchestra students.  We will also need some PARENT VOLUNTEERS: https://www.miltonorchestra.org/volunteer/114538
