Winter Concert Thursday 12/11

12/3/2025 2:12 pm

Good afternoon, Milton Orchestra Families,

I'm looking forward to our Winter Concert next Thursday, 12/11/25 at 7 pm in the MHS Auditorium. We will be joined by NMS and EPMS 8^th graders for a few of the musical selections. It should be an engaging and festive evening. Join us for a reception afterwards!

3 things:

Change to concert ticket reservation system: Booster membership (see applicable levels and join here: https://www.miltonorchestra.org/packet/1695) still gets you access to advance seat reservations for our concert. Look for a link from the booster club if applicable. These will close the day of the concert and be marked for you when you arrive. NEW: By popular demand and for the sake of simplicity, all other seats will be (free) general admission upon arrival. It is not too late to join and get early access! Otherwise, arrive early to get your seats, especially for this concert with so many guests.
Pizza opt-OUT: If you DO NOT want pizza, please fill out this form so that we don't over-purchase. Pizza is provided by your Milton HS Orchestra Booster Club. 2025 Winter Concert Pizza Opt Out 12/11/25 – Fill out form
CONCERT TIMELINE:

Thursday, 12/11/25- These activities are all part of your MAJOR GRADE for the concert experience and, more importantly, the culmination of a lot of hard work! Be on time (early) and ready. Stay through the final piece of the concert (and don't forget the reception after).
