Counselor Application Form.
Longhorn Music Camp Counselor Requirements
It is required that applicants for the position of counselor be a U.T. School
of Music student and/or a member of a U.T. School of Music ensemble
during the 2008–09 school year. Graduating seniors may apply as
counselors for the Summer 2010 camps.
Counselors must be able and willing to meet all of the following
expectations:
- As a courtesy to the camp administration, please apply only for
camps that you are willing to accept should you be assigned. Because day
camp is now an option to all campers with the exception of Honors Wind
Ensemble participants, all counselor applicants will be considered for both
residential and day camp positions.
- Be available from 12:00 p.m. Saturday, the day before the camp
begins, through the following Saturday, the last day of camp, until 5:00
p.m. This time period includes facilities preparation, registration, auditions,
orientation, daytime activities/rehearsals, evening activities, necessary
post-camp duties on the final day of the camp, and any other duties that
may be assigned by camp administration during the course of the camp
week. There will also be a counselor retreat one Friday–Saturday in May
(date to be determined) that you will need to attend.
- Counselors are expected to be present at all assigned duties.
Counselors may attend UT classes during camp. However, special
permission must be obtained in order to take more than 3 hours of class
per day. Scheduling issues must be resolved prior to camp.
- Each Counselor may be assigned up to 15–20 students as their
"community." Counselors will be responsible for their community at all
times to include: meals, recreation periods, evening activities, night check,
and lights-out. The Camp Coordinator may assign other responsibilities.
- Counselors may NOT leave their assigned dorm areas at night
without the prior approval of the Camp Coordinators.
- Full payment of stipend is contingent upon successful completion of
all assigned duties and compliance with all camp rules, and completion of
any necessary payroll forms. Middle School and High School Band, Honors
Wind Ensemble, and Harp and Middle School String Orchestra residential
counselors will receive room, board and $275.00. Day camp counselors for
these same sessions will receive lunch and $175.00. Choir and High School
Orchestra residential counselors will receive room, board and $130.00 and
day camp counselors will receive lunch and $100.00.
- Counselors are expected to address their camp duties with the
highest ethical and moral standards. You may need to confront the
following issues: physical safety, alcohol, drug abuse, sexual activities,
firearms, angry parents, or disappearance from the camp.
- The use of alcohol, inappropriate language, or social contact with
campers is strictly prohibited at all times for the duration of the camp. This
includes 21st Birthday parties. Inappropriate social contact with other
counselors is also strictly prohibited. If you are a smoker, you may not
smoke in the presence of campers. Please inform the coordinator on the
first day of camp if you desire smoke breaks.
Longhorn Music Camp requests your patience regarding notification of
acceptance as a counselor. Determination of the number of counselors
required is made as registration reaches its peak. We will do our best to
keep you informed.
