Through our years of operation in dealing with a large number of people with diverse interests and backgrounds, we have developed rules and regulations that we feel are necessary in order to provide a fun and functional learning environment. A student attending any division of the Leigh Howard Stevens Summer Marimba Seminar agrees to abide by all rules and regulations. Failure to comply with these rules is cause for a camper to be dismissed from Camp immediately, with no refund of fees. These regulations apply from the camper check-in to check-out. Commuters on campus are subject to the same rules as PISD students, except for activities en route to and from campus. If you have any questions pertaining to any of these regulations, do not hesitate to seek clarification.
Campers will not consume, possess or knowingly be in the presence of any type of alcoholic beverage, illegal drug or narcotic. All infractions will be deferred to the Plano Police. Violators will be dismissed without a refund. Smoking is not allowed. All campus buildings are covered by the public laws banning smoking.
Causing physical danger to others is reason for dismissal without refund. This includes but is not limited to such things as endangering the life or safety of a camper (including yourself), physical violence, over the counter drug abuse, pranks with a potential for harm to any person or property, and the possession of martial arts "toys" or weapons.
If a camper elects to drive an automobile to Camp, he/she may not offer rides to fellow campers. To do so will mean that all involved will be dismissed. Any carpooling prior to camp is to be determined by the students and their parents/guardians.
Campers are not allowed to ride in or on any unauthorized vehicle. Authorized vehicles are public taxi, public bus, or Camp staff member's car in case of illness or necessity. Written parental permission and Camp administration approval are required if a camper wishes to leave campus, and/or ride in the cars of close relatives or friends of the family. All Other Riding In Or On Motorized Vehicles Is Unauthorized, including hitchhiking and rides with friends.
Attendance is required at all classes/rehearsals. Campers who skip class will be sent home. If you miss a class/rehearsal because of illness, you must notify Michael A. Hernandez (972.345.0598).
Enclosed is a detailed map of restaurants around Plano Senior High School. Students will have an hour and a half lunch each day. Students who drive are not allowed to offer rides to any other camp member unless they carpooled together with parental permission. Driving students may offer to bring back lunch for friends. PSHS has a very nice pond and shade tree area within the campus that offers a picnic environment during the school year.
**An optional meal plan available for $35 includes a catered lunch provided by the Plano Band Boosters, Monday-Friday. If interested, please let us know at camp check-in on Monday. Please let us know of any special food requirements or needs.
Campers who must leave the Camp for a short period, other than lunchtime, must have specific written permission from their parent or guardian. If it is necessary for you to be excused from Camp and miss a class because of a home activity, you should inform all instructors and directors.
There are no refunds for campers who leave early for homesickness or other reasons.
The Camp reserves the right without a refund of fees, to expel any student who violates Camp regulations or interferes with the operation of the Camp.
Camp Check-In is from 8-9am at Plano Sr. High School. The balance of the camp tuition will be collected. Students will pick up nametags, camp literature, instructed where to store your marimba (if applicable), pick up camp t-shirts, if ordered, prepare for camp placement auditions to begin at approximately 9:15am.
Laminated nametags will be issued to each camper and must be worn at all times. If you lose your nametag you will be required to purchase another one for $1.
All belongings should be plainly marked with your name. Although Plano Senior High School and the LHSPre-CollegeSMS will use reasonable effort to protect student property, they are not in any way liable for the lost, theft or damage of any property belonging to campers. PSHS and the Camp do not have insurance coverage on campers' property. Campers are encouraged to insure their property through a private insurance company.
Students bringing their own marimba should make sure to label all equipment as theirs. All marimbas need to be at Plano Sr. High School no later than Monday morning, 9am. The PSHS Band Hall will be open on Sunday afternoon, from 3-5pm to allow any camp students the opportunity to bring their marimbas prior to the Monday morning check-in.
All LHSPre-CollegeSMS sessions are closed to non-camp members.
