Hello All,
I have received a few emails regarding when the wind audition results will be released so I wanted to inform everyone as to why there is a delay. Because of how we had to receive the wind auditions this year, there were several students that have had technical difficulties. We have been able to work with these for the most part. We do not want to send a results list out to everyone until we have the majority of these situations worked out and submitted. Sending the list too early would create confusion as we add to the list because some students would shift chairs and/or band placement. Please be patient as we work through this process. I also want to clarify that these auditions are meant to be used to place the wind students in the appropriate band class for the 2020-21 school year and for chair placement purposes. As long as you have participated in our wind auditions, you are a member of the Milton Band. We must have the audition, however. Below is the list of students by which we have received auditions. You will notice that the students at the top have missing parts of your audition. Please just go ahead and rerecord these if you are one of those students. Yes, we have looked everywhere for them. No we did not find them. Just rerecord those parts. You can find that audition info by CLICKING HERE. If you are reading this and do not see your name on this list, this means that we did not receive you audition. Please submit ASAP. Again, CLICK HERE for audition info. If you have technical problems with this process, please contact us so we can work through the situation. We will also communicate with each of those individuals directly shortly. Remember, new woodwind and brass marching students will start on July 6th. All returning and new Winds and Brass will be together starting July 13th. All Guard and Percussion students must attend the percussion and guard camps beginning on July 6th as part of your audition process. There is nothing you need to prepare right now. This is simply for us to place you on the appropriate equipment, i.e flag/rifle, front ensemble/battery, etc. We will communicate anything that you will need to prepare if the need arises. Finally, I do want to inform everyone of potential class number caps for the new school year. The county is currently working with the health department, principals, program leaders, teachers, coaches and more to determine the best route for classes. This includes all organizations, clubs, classes, sports, etc. for the entire county. Other counties are all planing through the same situations. Please understand that if there are guidelines to place a cap on classes or other items, we may need to adjust the band class sizes, potentially even creating a 4th concert band class. Again, EVERY CLASS AND ORGANIZATION in the county would have to work with the same guidelines. I do not know what these will be or even the extent of the possibility. I'm simply communicating with you of this potential. Again, we will work through any situation and hurdle in our way because that is what we do. :-) Thank you for reading through this and I hope you are staying safe and healthy!

Schultz Assistant Band Director Milton High School (850)983-5611 schultzm@santarosa.k12.fl.us www.miltonhighschoolband.com Hello All,
Please, please, please read everything in this email from top to bottom! I promise there’s not a Monster at the end of this Book as much as Grover from Sesame Street would like you to think. Haha. First, I want to thank you all for your understanding with the delayed response in regard to getting this schedule out to you. We have been waiting for the much-anticipated guidelines from the county as to what extent all groups (Band, Football, etc.) in Santa Rosa County will be able to practice this summer. Thankfully, our county, in conjunction with the local health department has come up with very practical guidelines for us to follow, especially considering what we have seen from the surrounding county guidelines. With the SRC guidelines, we must adjust our normal schedule accordingly to maintain the safest yet most productive learning environment. We will be in the “Step 2” phase when we return according to the SRC guidelines. After “step 2”, we will begin “step 3” of the guidelines on July 20th. “Step 3”, so far, is mostly back to normal with guidance from the Health Department. We may still have to screen students before rehearsals so far. CLICK HERE to see the complete draft of the SRC guidelines if you would like to look through those. Here are the main points of the “Step 2” guidelines:
Please understand that all of this could change one way or another at any point. The SRC administrators were very clear at our meeting in saying that we must look at everything with “fluidity”. If something does change with our schedule, we will let you know as soon as possible. Please make sure you put these dates in your calendar. If you would like to sync the band calendar to your phone, CLICK HERE and scroll towards the bottom to access the instructions. During this time, communication is paramount. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us. Mr. Weaver – Head Band Director – [email protected] Mr. Schultz – Assistant Band Director – [email protected] June 26th 5pm-7pm

Finally, I wanted to briefly inform everyone that we have also adjusted our rehearsal times for the fall semester regarding the marching band. As of now, we plan to rehearse on every Tuesday 5pm-9pm and Thursday 4pm-7pm. We will not have any Monday rehearsals for marching band unless the need arises. This schedule will start the week of August 4th. Just like the summer schedule, this is subject to change. We will notify you of any changes. CONGRATULATIONS!! YOU HAVE MADE IT TO THE END! See, No Monster 😊 Thank you Hello again band
We need to update our Remind text message groups. For those that are new to this, Remind is a FREE text messaging service we use to send announcements, or links to announcements the quickest way possible. These texts will go directly to your phone using your normal text messaging app. If you want the fancy side, you can download the remind app for free, however, this is not necessary. The link below will guide you through this sign up. Notice that the Marching Band groups are separated by Class. For example, "Class of 2024". Click the name of the group for which you would like to get the most up to date information about and follow the steps on the pdf file. These groups are also separated into student remind groups and parent remind groups. Yes, the marching band groups for students and parents are the same and do recieve the exact same information. http://www.miltonhighschoolband.com/remind101.html Hello All,
