Before winter break, the Boarder Dinner is definitely one of the best events of the year for the boarding community. However, the real fun begins after we finish our food and head back to our dorms for Dorm Caroling. Boys’ dorms practice months in advance for their caroling performances, picking out five songs to sing, some even with instrumental parts. Some dorms have classic songs that they bring back every year, such as the Wolcott boys who sing their own rendition of “Santa Clause is Coming to Town” and Norris boys who change some of the words to “Carol of the Bells.” Not all the songs are holiday themed, however. Boys’ dorms have caroled anything from Taylor Swift to the Jackson 5. Members of the girls’ dorms put on their warmest and comfiest clothes and wait on their porches with plenty of blankets for each boys’ dorm to come to them with their carols. After each dorm sings all of their songs, they give each senior girl a rose and move on to the next girls’ dorm. It is truly one of the most special and fun nights of the year, and definitely will be one of my favorite memories of Milton.
Hi, and thanks for visiting us! We’re the leaders of Milton’s Orange and Blue Key (OBK) Society. OBK is the group of about 160 students who give tours to students and families visiting our campus. We work closely with the admission office to make sure you get a good sense of what it’s like to be a student at Milton. We hope that you’ll visit us in person, and until then, enjoy this “insider’s” view of the School we love.
