June, 2021

Hello from Stetson University! Congratulations on your decision to attend the 14th Annual

Stetson University Clarinet Clinic. We are looking forward to an exciting week and hope you

have a wonderful experience.

Additional pages include the following: current Covid-19 Protocols and Expectations, directions

to Stetson University, Video Audition Instructions, answers to frequently asked questions, Rules

and Regulations, a “What to Bring” list, and a sample schedule for the week. Please read

everything carefully. Audition requirements and procedures are also available on the web site.

ALL AUDITION VIDEOS ARE DUE JULY 3 by 8 pm. The schedule enclosed is an example

of what will happen during the week. General large events (i.e. evening concerts) will remain the

same; daily activities may vary slightly as to time or place as University scheduling dictates. An

updated and complete schedule will be available at registration. All evening concerts are free and

open to the public.

When you check-in at registration you will need to bring your signed Stetson Liability and Risk

Acknowledgement Form, Medical Consent for Treatment Form, and the Release of Information

form. We are not equipped to deal with credit cards at registration; fees should be paid in

full prior to arrival on campus. Covid Testing will begin at 10 am in the Rinker Field House,

Hollis Center (parking is available north of the building on Pennsylvania Ave/Bert Fish Drive).

Registration, Tuesday July 6th, will begin in Chaudoin Hall lobby, at 11:00 am and will

conclude at 12:00 pm. Parents should plan to leave immediately after you get your child’s gear

unloaded and camp staff has shown them to their room.

The Clinic is offering all interested participants, regardless of age, the opportunity to audition for

the Young Artist Competition. The audition will be electronically submitted; procedure is

located on the website and in this information packet. PLEASE BRING YOUR PIANO

ACCOMPANIMENT WITH YOU IF YOU SEND IN AN AUDITION VIDEO. Winners of this

event will perform on the Young Artist Recital presented Thursday, July 8th at 7 pm in

H.Douglas Lee Chapel located in Elizabeth Hall. Stetson University will provide an accompanist

for this performance; an accompanist is not required for the audition. The solo of choice may not

exceed 10 minutes.

Buffet Crampon will hopefully be on campus on Wednesday to give students an opportunity to

try clarinets. If you are contemplating the purchase of a clarinet there is opportunity to do so

during this week - please email me to discuss the logistics.

All concerts will be held in the H. Douglas Lee Chapel in Elizabeth Hall. Parking is available

just north of Elizabeth Hall between Chaudoin and Emily Halls (access from Woodland Blvd.) or

across the street from Elizabeth Hall behind Flagler Hall (access from Minnesota Ave.). A

separate email will be sent to participants regarding concert attendance. Attendance at concerts is

limited to 50 people; each camper is allotted 2 guests for each concert. A temperature check will

be taken at the door; face masks are required at all times.

Part of the camp experience is being away from home. We would like to discourage the use of

cell phones during the week unless it is an emergency. We will be strictly adhering to a usage

policy similar to that which might be found in their schools – no usage during classes, rehearsals

or concerts.

If you have any questions, please email lmusco@stetson.edu (quickest response). We are looking

forward to seeing you!

Dr. Lynn Musco, Director

lmusco@stetson.edu

COVID PROTOCAL AND EXPECTATIONS

ARRIVE at Stetson Tuesday morning, July 6th between 10:00am and no later

than10:30am - students will be required to first take a Covid test in the Rinker Field

House.

DRIVE to the Rinker Field House, Hollis Center parking lot. Directions included below.

Students will get out with their RELEASE of INFORMATION form.

It is very important students print out and bring this form so they can turn

in the signed copy on the first day. Camp staff will help direct them to the Rinker Field

House and there they will take the Covid test and wait there for results. They will receive

a text message of the test result. With a NEGATIVE test, they will notify parents via text

that they received their NEGATIVE test result.

While your student is being tested it is recommended that parents drive to the

North parking lot of Chaudoin hall and park/ wait (Directions below).

Students will be escorted (walk) to the North side of Chaudoin Hall by camp staff.

Students will receive key FOB for the dorm and will then unload instruments and

everything from the vehicle they plan to have for the week. COVID PROTOCAL

STIPULATES THAT PARENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MOVE THEIR

STUDENT IN TO THE DORM. Students will be escorted to their room by camp staff

and we can assist if they need help moving in. Parents may depart once students begin the

move in process. At this time, students will have some time to settle in their rooms. We

will then head to lunch and immediately following that have our open meeting to

welcome all students and begin the week!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS…

and the ANSWERS!!!

When is drop off and pick up?

Registration/check in/drop off will begin Tuesday, July 6th at 11:00 am, following a

NEGATIVE Covid test result, in Chaudoin Hall and conclude at 12 pm. About a week prior to

registration an email will be sent with specific registration directions. Testing begins at 10 am in

the Rinker Field House, Hollis Center. PLEASE ARRIVE ON TIME. If personal schedules

require a specific check-in time that is possible with prior notice - email Dr. Musco at lmusco@stetson.edu.

Parents should plan on arriving on Saturday, July 10 in time to attend the concert at 11:30.

Students will check out of the dorms directly following the concert. Please DO NOT come to the

dorm prior to the concert; the students will be involved in pre-concert activities. COVID

restrictions do not allow any interaction between parent and student for the duration of the clinic

until it is time to move out of the dorm.

This will be my child’s first time away from home. Is it safe? How are the students supervised? How are the rooms assigned? The clinic is designed with younger students in mind, and one of the most frequent comments

about the camp is that is was an ideal first-time-away-from-home experience. There is an

expectation that older students will mentor the younger, and all of the faculty/counselors have

experience dealing with school age children. It is an extremely safe, caring, and friendly

environment. All faculty are counselors, and all stay in the dorms with the students for the

duration of the camp. The students are chaperoned/ supervised 24/7, and all rules and regulations

are thoroughly discussed at the beginning of camp (refer to the enclosed Rules and Regulations)

and enforced. All students are housed in a single dorm, but are separated by gender (males on

one floor, females on another) and age (generally by wing of each floor) with counselors

strategically placed on each floor. The most experienced counselors are always in close

proximity to the youngest students.

The students are grouped in ensembles according to age and like abilities, and assigned

roommates of similar age. It is possible to request a roommate at the time of registration or with

an email to Dr. Musco.

My child has dietary restrictions, can this be accommodated? Yes. The campus food service plans meals to accommodate vegetarian, diabetic, and celiac

conditions. Your child will be responsible for choosing the food he/she is able/required to eat.

The students are allowed to keep some snacks in their rooms and they are allowed to order take

out (delivered to the dorms) after the scheduled evening activities. NO HIGHLY

CAFFEINATED/ENERGY DRINKS ARE ALLOWED.

Are there other activities/free time? Free time is scheduled each day. Lunch break is an hour, there is free time before and after

dinner, and after each evening’s scheduled event. At times there are scheduled fun activities

during the free time.

What is appropriate evening recital apparel?

We ask that the students dress appropriately for the evening recitals: gentlemen - shirts with a

collar, dress pants/shorts (polo shirts and khakis, for example); ladies - dresses, skirts,

appropriate shirts/ blouses (school dress code length/skin coverage please), no jeans, sports

clothes, flip flops. What concerts can parents/friends attend?

All clinic concerts are free and open to the public. The schedule available at check in will give

the detailed itinerary for the week. COVID Tier 3 establishes guidelines for concert attendance -

this will be shared in a email closer to the clinic session.

* Students are expected to be at all events unless officially excused by a faculty member. They

are not allowed to go anywhere alone and are to keep the directors and faculty advised of their

whereabouts at all times.

WHAT TO BRING

If you have access and permission to borrow a working alto, bass, or contra clarinet and wish to

play it please do not hesitate to bring it along (with WORKING reeds...). We will need auxiliary

clarinets for the chamber ensembles and the clarinet choirs.

BELL COVER FOR YOUR INSTRUMENT.

Instrument(s), at least one box of reeds, current method books, solos and ensembles, your own

metronome and tuner, if you own either/or both, and any other supplies or music related to

clarinet. Please bring working reeds.

FOLDING MUSIC STAND. DO NOT forget a stand! Please try to borrow one if you do not

have one of your own. We will not provide stands. Please remember to put your name on all

parts of the stand.

Casual clothes, comfortable shoes, athletic wear, etc. are suitable for daily activities; pajamas

and a robe would be suitable for evenings in the dorm. A sweater or jacket is suggested as the

buildings tend to be cold. Students are expected to “dress up” for the evening concerts – no blue

jeans, shorts, or casual flip flops (see frequently asked questions). Clinic concert dress for the

Friday concert is black skirt or pants (black socks and shoes please) with a white blouse or top

for the ladies; gentlemen, black dress pants (black socks and shoes) with a white shirt and

appropriate tie. For the Finale Concert we recommend not to wear all black/black & white but

more Sunday best dress; slacks, dress socks, dress shirts and maybe a tie. ( gentlemen, no white

socks with dress shoes) (ladies, dresses are fine as well).

Towels, washcloths, soap, toiletries, sunscreen, raincoat or umbrella, twin size (extra long)

sheets, pillow, blankets (dorms are often cold at night), alarm clock, etc.

Spending money ($30 – 50 should be plenty). All admissions and meals are pre-paid in the

tuition/dorm fee. However, the bookstore is open for souvenirs, sometimes students need to buy

reeds (we will have a vendor on campus during registration and at least once during the week),

there is a snack shop available on campus and students may order pizza/take out at night.

PLEASE DO NOT BRING LARGE AMOUNTS OF CASH.

Board games, cards, hand-held video games, etc. are acceptable for free time in the afternoon or

before lights out, but we discourage bringing expensive recreational items to the clinic. The

clinic/university is not responsible for items lost or stolen during the duration of the clinic, so if

you do choose to bring electronic items (such as a game boy, iPad, tablet, etc.) please be

responsible in the use and care for said item.

Part of the clinic/camp experience is being away from home. We discourage the use of cell

phones during the week unless it is an emergency. Cell phone usage will NOT be permitted in

classes, rehearsals, or concerts.
