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.

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.
