VIDEO SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

Upon completion of your MAC Camp registration and payment, we will send you instructions with where to submit your unlisted YouTube video link. The video must be submitted by May 25th, and we will use the video as a reference to select the appropriate camp pieces for each student according to the level of their performances. Several weeks before MAC begins, we will send digital copies of the selected ensemble music and camp repertoire to each participant. To facilitate the most effective rehearsals and coaching, it is the student's responsibility to practice and learn their assigned pieces prior to the start of camp.
