***Important Notice***

Due to the high enrollment of the 2011 Junior Music Academy, we have a large number of students on our waiting lists. For this reason, we will be firm on our policy that all balances MUST paid in full two weeks prior to camp to confirm that your son or daughter will be attending and to guarantee his/her spot. If you know at this time that your son or daughter is registered but WILL NOT be attending – please let us know ASAP so that we can allow another student to attend in their place. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact us at (207) 780-5072.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

If you have any trouble downloading attachments, please call Lori Arsenault at 207-780-5142, and we will be happy to mail or fax you the information.
