What to Bring

Q: What should I bring for camp?
A: In addition to clothes, a raincoat, toiletries, and a few other personal items, each student needs to bring the necessary equipment and materials for participation in ensembles.

Concert Band, Jazz Ensembles, Orchestra
Instrument(s)
Reeds, mutes, valve oil, slide creme, etc.
Mallets, sticks, brushes, pencils, rosin
FOLDING MUSIC STAND
Concert Choir
Five sharpened pencils
Piano campers: Bring any music (and piano accompaniment) you're currently working on for your private lesson, placement audition, and possible performance.


Q: What about money?
A: Some money for incidental purchases, the Berkey Creamery, the Natatorium, or refreshments is suggested, and you may want to bring change for the vending machines or pay phones.

Q: Is there anything I shouldn't bring?
A: Yes. You should not bring the following items: TV sets, computer equipment, skateboards, skates, bicycles, valuable items, and pets. We also ask that you leave cell phones in your residence hall room or at home, as these can be a distraction during rehearsals and classes. If you do bring a cell phone, it must be turned off during any program sessions. Camp staff may confiscate a cell phone for the duration of the camp if they prove to be unsafe or a constant distraction from Summer Music Camp activities.

Q: Is there late registration available on the first day of camp?
A: We highly discourage anyone from arriving late to camp. Attendance at the 3:30 p.m. meeting on Sunday afternoon is essential. However, in the event of an emergency, late registration will be available at the Commons Desk, which is open twenty-four hours.
