Concert and LGPE Essential Details

1/29/2024 8:28 am

We have two major events this month- please see details below.  You should have also received a Milton Orchestra Booster newsletter Friday- just a reminder in case you need to get on that list (join by creating a free account at our website, miltonorchestra.org).

 

PRE-EVALUATION CONCERT:

  • Thursday 2/8/24 at 6:30 pm
  • This is our Pre-LGPE (Large Group Performance Evaluation) Concert.  We will begin at 6:30 pm and offer a more streamlined event than usual due to the preparatory nature of this concert. 
  • Students will still need to bring their instruments the following day for rehearsal as well.  
  • All concerts are a Major Grade
  • No pre-concert rehearsal, concessions, intermission or other extras.  So that we don't waste food, pizza will only be provided for those students who request it (you can still stay after school between 3:30 and 6:30 if you want to).  Please complete this form by 11:59 pm Sunday, 2/4 if you would like to be on the list for pizza slices prior to our 2/8 concert.  https://forms.gle/XiRYCNTHX1Ym4ZPY8

 

LARGE GROUP PERFORMANCE EVALUATION (LGPE): 

For those not familiar, this is an event where we will perform/sight read for a panel of judges in order to receive feedback and ratings.  This is viewed academically as the music equivalent of an End of Course Exam.  

 

As a reminder, the 3-day window for these dates has been on the orchestra calendar since the beginning of the year.  We received our exact dates and posted them in the orchestra room at miltonorchestra.org, and to Canvas earlier this month.  

 

Here are specifics now that timing has been finalized: 

  • We still need a few chaperones- visit miltonorchestra.org (you'll need to be logged in to visit the volunteer page)
  • We will travel by charter bus
  • LGPE is at Westlake HS in Atlanta this year
  • Concert attire is our usual concert black
  • Concert and Chamber students will need money for a Chik-Fil-A dinner stop on the return trip
  • Sinfonia will complete a Chik-Fil-A lunch order form as part of the permission slip (we will eat at the event)
  • Permission slips coming home soon
  • Timing:
