Q. My child will be a freshman in high school next year. Should he/she attend a middle school or a high school camp?

A. For band and orchestra, we offer both a middle school and a high school option. For band, rising freshman may choose between the camps or even attend both. The focus of the middle school and high school band camps is the same. Parents should decide with their child which camp is more appropriate based on social and musical maturity. For orchestra, rising freshman must choose between the middle school and high school camps since the occur simultaneously. The middle school orchestra camp in centered around two string orchestras that rehearse music to perform at the end of the week. At the high school string camp, the focus is the music that will be included on the all-state audition process for the upcoming year. Most public school orchestra students participate in this audition process, so this camp is a great head-start on the music.

Q. How do I register for a camp?

A. Visit www.longhornmusiccamp.org and click on “Register Online.” Follow the steps of the online registration process all the way to the end. You will be asked to pay online as well (secure site). Download and submit all required forms (via snail mail), and read the respective camp handbook thoroughly. Instrumental camps DO have instrumentation registration limits, and spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Register early to insure a place.

Q. Is there a waiting list? What happens if I am on the waiting list?

When registration closes, the camp director reviews any outstanding openings in the ensemble and may choose to extend an invitation to qualified applicants. Students sending in audition recordings for HWE are not required to have registered for a camp. However, if the student is interested in attending the High School Band Camp (if he/she does not make it into the HWE), they are encouraged to register for the High School Band Camp since audition recordings are reviewed after registration closes. If the student has already registered for the High School Band Camp, and is offered an invitation to the HWE, a price-difference refund will be issued.

Q. Can I sponsor a child to go to camp?

Every year we hear from potential campers, and perhaps you know of others such as your nieces and nephews or the children of your employees and friends, who would love to attend and would benefit immensely from our program, but do not have the financial means to do so.

Become an individual or corporate sponsor of Longhorn Music Camp and help us further our mission to nurture musicianship and spur artistic growth, increase the love of the musical arts, and encourage continuing education by providing an exciting and rewarding camp experience.

For a gift of as little as $350, you can sponsor a student in need. Contact the camp office at 512-232-2080 for additional information. In recognition of your generosity, Longhorn Music Camp will include you in our web site listing of individual and corporate sponsors.

Q. Is there a directory of other campers at Longhorn Music Camp so that my child may keep in touch with friends made at camp?

Parents are asked during the online registration process if they would like to include their child’s information in the directory (inclusion is optional). The directory will include names and physical and e-mail addresses of campers who elected to be listed. No telephone numbers will be listed. If you do not wish to disclose one or more of these components, please decline inclusion in the directory. Directories will be e-mailed to those campers who have elected inclusion. If a camper has not elected to include their information in the directory, the Camp staff cannot release this information to any other campers.

Q. When and how does my child check out of the dorm?

A. All campers (except for Jazz and Recording camps) must check out of their rooms Saturday morning (with counselor inspection) prior to the final concerts.

Q. Who supervises my child while he/she is at camp?

A. Our experienced counselors are UT undergraduate and graduate students, who are either music majors or are members of a School of Music ensemble (such as Longhorn Band). We maintain approximately a 1:16 counselor-to-camper ratio and endeavor to match instrumentation areas between counselors and campers. Campers are supervised at all times by counselors, coordinators, or faculty. Campers check in with counselors every time they move from point A to point B, at breakfast, before dinner, and evening meetings with counselors. During the day, attendance is taken at the beginning of each class. At Longhorn Music Camp, camper safety is our primary concern.

Q. Where do the campers live and eat while at camp?

A. Residential campers are housed in Dobie Center Halls located adjacent to the UT campus. They live with a roommate and share bathrooms. Counselors stay on the same floor with their assigned campers. Other dorm facilities may be used in the event of high registration numbers.

Although requests cannot be guaranteed, residential campers may indicate a preferred roommate on the registration form. Roommate election or changes will not be permitted after May 26, 2010. If no roommate preference is indicated, an effort will be made to match students of the same age and instrumental. Campers may not switch roommates upon arrival at or during camp. Visitation between campers of the same gender housed on different floors is allowed at the discretion of the campers’ assigned counselors.

Three meals are served daily in the Dobie Dining Center. All commuter campers eat lunch in the dining room Monday–Friday. The dining room offers a main entrée line and other choices. Service is cafeteria style, and food must be eaten in the dining room. Campers and counselors eat together and are asked to properly bus tables and trays and exit the dining room once everyone in their group has eaten.

It is common for residential campers to pool their resources and order pizza following evening activities as long as it does not interfere with their nightly head-check and floor meeting/lights out. Vending machines for soft drinks, candy and other snacks are available in the dorm. As it is impossible to meet everyone's food tastes, dorm rooms are equipped with a mini-fridge and campers may bring snacks with them to camp. Please note that campers may not access their rooms during the lunch break except for an emergency, and then only with a counselor.

Campers are advised to keep their rooms locked and to never leave items of value unattended. Longhorn Music Camp cannot be responsible for campers' personal money or other assets. Items left behind at the end of camp will be held for two weeks. Campers should contact the Dobie Desk with Dobie Center maintenance problems.

At the dorm check-in each camper will be given a room key, floor code (if applicable) and meal wrist-band. It is important that campers keep track of these items. Key and meal wrist-band replacement is at the expense of the camper. At the time of loss, replacement fees will be collected from the camper or the camper's parent by a camp coordinator and processed through camp accounting.

Q. How do I contact my child during camp?

A. There are no telephones in the dorm rooms, but campers are encouraged to bring a cell phone with them. Long distance calls may be made collect or billed to a long distance calling card or credit card. The suggested time to call campers is between 9:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Parents should set up a time/date for their camper to call home. Campers should not be on the telephone after lights-out. Cell phones may be used only during free time (not while in any instructional periods or while walking with the camp). Parents may contact the Camp Office during business hours at 512-232-2080 to speak with a member of the camp staff who can relay a message to the camper. After 5:00 p.m., parents should contact the Dobie Desk in the event of an emergency.
The Dobie Desk is staffed 24 hours a day and serves as headquarters for housing and meal information. The Dobie Desk should be contacted for any room maintenance issues. If a parent needs to drop off an essential item to the camper, items may be brought to the camp office (MBE 2.112) during business hours, or to the Dobie Desk after hours. The phone number for the Dobie Desk is (512) 505-1000.

Q. I have a child with special needs. Can the camp accommodate this situation?

A. If a camper requires special accommodations, please contact the camp office at 512-232-2080 before registering and we will work to verify that we will be able to adequately meet your expectations. Note that housing arrangements are assigned to LMC by Dobie Center Dormitory. Please note that LMC cannot be respoinsible for or held liable for the administration of medication to campers. The camper must be able to self-administer his/her own medication.

Q. Can I get a recording of my child’s camp performance?

A. Due to the high costs required in complying with copyright laws we cannot provide recordings of final performances.

Q. What is the Conduct Policy at Longhorn Music Camp?

A. Campers are expected to acquaint themselves with the rules and standards of conduct established by LMC. A camper who does not fulfill the responsibilities set out by such rules and standards of conduct may be subject to disciplinary action, including dismissal from LMC.

• All campers are required to be in attendance during all instructional activities. Please do not schedule doctor/dentist/orthodontist appointments during the week of camp. Campers are also required to participate in their final concert. If the dates of LMC conflict with another activity or event, the camper and parent must choose between the two events prior to registering for camp. LMC will not make scheduling exceptions.
• Campers should immediately report any accident or illness to their counselor.
• Medical or family emergencies are the only acceptable reasons a camper may depart early from camp. If a camper must leave camp early due to an emergency, the parent or legal guardian must contact the camp administrator or coordinator to sign the camper out. Residential campers should turn in their room key upon departure.
• Campers are required to wear their nametag and a wristband in a clearly visible place at all times.
• Campers must eat all contracted meals at the dorm and be escorted by a counselor at all times when walking between the dorm and School of Music.
• Campers should carefully read the “Hook’em Daily” (daily camp newsletter) for up-to-the minute information on rehearsals, classes, and special activities.
• Locked doors should never be propped open or held open for an unknown person.
• Keep all dorm areas neat and clean. Do not move furniture or equipment. Prior to check out, camper rooms should be cleared of trash and debris, and the MicroFridge should be empty. Avoid excessive noise in and around the residence hall. Practicing musical instruments is not allowed in the dorm. Any type of rowdy, loud, or disruptive behavior is NOT permitted in the residence hall. Appropriate behavior and consideration of the rights of others is expected.
• Campers may not be in possession of merchandise with intent of resale at camp. Any such items will be confiscated and not returned.

Parking is restricted by permit Monday–Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. Posted signs, whether permanent or temporary, must be obeyed at all times. Posted signs take precedence over painted curbs, pavement markings, and designations shown on any University map. Never park in a space denoted as reserved “At All Times.” Any parking fees or citations will be the responsibility of the visitor. For more information, visit www.utexas.edu/parking.

Q. Can my child leave during camp? What do I if I need to collect my child because of a family emergency?

A. Campers will not be permitted to leave camp for any reason (including visiting the home of an Austin relative or friend), unless we receive detailed written notification one week prior to the first day of camp. Requests may be submitted with the Permission to Leave Campus form that can be found at www.LonghornMusicCamp.org under “handbooks/forms,” and should include the exact day and time of requested departure and return. Campers may not leave camp with anyone under the age of 21. Only requests that do not interfere with sectionals or ensemble rehearsals will be considered.

If a camper must leave camp early due to medical or family emergency, the parent or legal guardian must contact the Camp Office at 512-232-2080 so that arrangements can be made for the parent/guardian to sign the camper out.

Q. What happens if my child needs medical attention?

A. Campers who require medical attention will be accompanied to the Student Health Center by a camp coordinator or counselor. Medical costs incurred for treatment at the Student Health Center will be the responsibility of the parents or guardian of the individual treated. The initial charge for a Health Center visit is $60.00. There are additional charges for many of the procedures clinicians may need to perform in order to diagnose and treat illnesses or injuries. Billing is through the Student Health Center. Parents should provide health insurance for campers.

If any camper is seriously ill or injured, it is the policy of the Health Center that the doctor on the case will contact the parents. Individuals with potentially serious or life-threatening conditions will be taken directly to a hospital emergency room. Parental notification of minor injuries and illnesses is left to the discretion of the camper. Please discuss with your child your expectations regarding communication of such information.

LMC cannot be responsible for or held liable for the administration of medication to campers. The camper must be able to self-administer his/her own medication.

Required submission of health status and medical release forms are addressed in the enrollment process. Consent for Treatment of a Minor form is required by Student Health Services to render medical treatment except in life-threatening situations.
