Welcome back!

• Students do not need instruments on day 1.  Please bring them on Tuesday!  If you need tuning/string assistance, however, feel free to stop by with it Monday.  In case you're new and unsure, most students drop off their instruments before school starts (bottom floor, room 7101).  Cellists/bassists typically use the school instruments for rehearsal. 
   
• If you're having any schedule issues involving orchestra, please talk to your counselor AND me.  There's almost always a solution that can keep you involved- the program is full of 4-year orchestra, dual-enrolled, work-based-learning, medical pathway, academic, athlete superstars! 
• Go ahead and check out our calendar at https://www.miltonorchestra.org/calendar
• Mark your calendar for 8/8 spirit night, 8/14 parent meeting, and 8/17 Fall Mini Camp!  You'll receive details about all three.  It's an exciting way to kick off the year! 
• Annual orchestra activity fees will be payable through OSP via the MHS website (click "Payment"), but the link hasn't gone live yet.  I'll send a reminder when it posts.
    
• Most other registrations (All State/GMEA events, booster memberships, volunteering, syllabus signoff sheet, etc.) are through Membership Toolkit.  You'll need this soon.  Login and update or create your (free) account by going to miltonorchestra.org and clicking "log in" or go here: https://www.miltonorchestra.org/login-form?r=%2F
• Never miss a message! Students and parents join the Milton Orchestra Announcements GroupMe: https://groupme.com/join_group/100923734/TWgx7VKQ
• Follow us @miltonorchestra on Instagram and/or Facebook
   
• Like your other classes, academic/curricular things like assignments and grading will run through Canvas/Infinite Campus.  Your Canvas page is already published.  You'll get info on all of that in class.
