Sunday's registration and orientation will conclude between 6:00 and 6:30 pm. An instructor will listen to you play and ask a few questions about your music background. If possible bring music to play that will show your level of performance. Parents may wait in Jubilee Place during this time.
Daily Schedule - Students are expected to stay with the group at all times, attend all sessions and participate in all activities, including the Friday evening Final Concert. Each day will run from 8:45 am - 3:30 pm. Allow enough time each morning to set up for the 8:45 am session. Arrival may be as early as 8:00 a.m. and pick up about 4:00 p.m. Messages can be left at MBCI (667-8210, ext. 5002). In an emergency, students can be reached immediately at the school.
