Monday, January 29th
Parents, we need YOUR help! Many hands make light work – the reason I’m able to do what I do is because parents/families like you make it possible – check out the Sign-Up Genius to claim your role!
It’s back at the Baxter!
All orchestra students will participate in this once-a-year music clinic and concert. See the linked Parent Letter for more details. and please this photo on your social media feeds – let’s promote our amazing students and this tremendous performance!
Tickets will be $8 for adults, $5 for students, and 5 years and under free. (You will see the tickets listed as $6 for adults and $3 for students but there is a $2 facility fee per ticket, so they end up being $8 and $5.)
Performers do not need a ticket. Also, starting this year, the online ticket purchase has to go through Ticketmaster, and they are adding over $5 of fees per ticket, so you can avoid the Ticketmaster fee by going to the box office in-person or calling to purchase them at 402-554-6287. Their Box Office hours are M-W, noon – 5pm & Thu-F, 10am – 5pm. You can also access this information and more on our All-Millard Orchestra Website by clicking HERE.

If your family/your business would like to make a tax-deductible donation to support All-Millard, please send a check ℅ Mrs. Martinez made payable to Millard Public Schools (or MPS) with “All Millard” in the memo line – thanks for your support!
Chaperones
It’s helpful to have at least 5 chaperones for morning rehearsal and 3 for afternoon rehearsal. Parents/legal guardians – please consider volunteering! Here’s the Sign-Up Genius Link.
Details for MNHS Students:
Symphony and Chamber Students will arrive to MNHS by 8 AM on Monday, Jan. 29. We will all ride buses to the Baxter Arena for rehearsal (9:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m.). Students will be bused back to MNHS after rehearsal. *Lunch is not provided at the arena – students will eat lunch upon returning to MNHS, then head to class
I would appreciate 2 more adult chaperones to ride the buses (time commitment is 7:45 a.m.-1:00 p.m.). If you’ve already volunteered through the permission form, I’ve emailed you directly – thank you!
Students will need to bring instruments, pencils, folding music stand, music, and anything else that will assist in creating beautiful music (rock stop, shoulder rest, rosin, etc.). Students should also bring a bottle of water and a snack Snacks not provided
Students will not need backpacks; they can leave these in their lockers or in a dressing room at school. They will need coats – the temperature looks to be around 43 degrees F.
Large instruments (basses, cellos, tubas) will transport on the bus and can be left at the arena until after the concert, at which time the student/families will have to transport the instrument home and back to school for Wednesday’s rehearsal (string players will not need instruments on Tuesday, 1/30).
Wear your orchestra shirt (if you have one) to rehearsal!
The concert starts at 7 PM on Monday, Jan. 29. Report time for students is 6:30 p.m., but early arrival at 6 PM for families to locate parking, visit vendor booths and find their general admission seats is recommended.
Concert attire is our traditional formal concert black as outlined in the orchestra handbook.

After the concert, we will need help loading the percussion equipment onto the district trucks, and help unloading the trucks back at MNHS. Please consider signing up to help! Even if you don’t sign up, I’ll be happy to accept help on site! Just come down to the arena floor and join the party! Or head back to MNHS and meet us at the loading dock!
Details for other Millard Public Schools students are in the Calendar.
