Music Policy
Students will be sent the music for ensembles approximately two weeks before camp. Students are responsible to be familiar with all parts before coming to camp. Failure to do so may result in a change in band status or dismissal from camp. If students have questions about the music, they should seek private instruction or mark the music for help on the first day of camp. (Students may also call the YMO office for help with the music.)
Students are responsible for the care of each piece of music given to them. At the end of camp, all students must turn in the music in good condition. Failure to do so may result in a $25.00 fine.
Students will also be given extra music during the camp. All students will be given the opportunity for private and sectional rehearsal time to learn new music.
