Ensemble Placement
Advanced ensemble placement auditions for 2025-26 will take place March 24-28, 2025. There is NO audition requirement for Concert Orchestra, which is the default placement for students with middle school orchestra experience. Audition materials, details, and sign ups will be posted here when available.
--------------------------------------
The Milton Orchestra program is made up of 100+ students with a wide range of experience and ability levels. We are a diverse group, ranging from future music majors to varsity athletes and National Merit finalists!
There are currently 3 orchestra classes- something for every level of interest and playing experience. Orchestra may be "your thing" or just one of several interests- either way, we've got a place for you!
Most 9th graders begin in Intermediate Orchestra, called Concert Orchestra. There are also audition-only groups, currently divided into Advanced (Sinfonia) and Mastery (Chamber Orchestra). The orchestras frequently combine into one large ensemble on select pieces throughout the year.
Extracurricular performance, travel, and social opportunities are frequent for those interested. Many of these activities are planned in part by the orchestra's student leadership team.
Concert Orchestra (Intermediate Orchestra 1-4)

We look forward to meeting all future orchestra members! NO AUDITION REQUIRED for Concert (Intermediate) Orchestra. This is the default placement for most 9th graders coming from a middle school orchestra program, and it's a great place to start. Contact Mr. Cummings at the email below if you need any help with registration.

Registration info for rising 9th graders: Choose Intermediate Orchestra I for 1st and 2nd semesters (no audition required!) This can be changed later if you choose to audition in March
