Applications

Student
Sponsor

Completed applications should be sent to the Northern New England Conference Education Department at 91 Allen Ave, Portland, ME 04103. Applications will not be processed until application fee is received. Please make all checks payable to the Northern New England Conference (or NNEC).

Each student participating in Music Clinic must be accompanied by a sponsor who is responsible for him or her at all times. Therefore, a sponsor application must be sent with each application. However, a sponsor can be responsible for more than one participant.

Sponsors will be asked to perform duties at the clinic to insure the program runs smoothly. If you do not select preferences on your application, you will be assigned duties at random. We will try to give you choices, however, all the duties need coverage.

Application Deadline
To receive the early bird discount your application and payment must be received by December 1, 2007. This year we have a Final Piano application deadline of February 1, 2008. The Music Clinic application final deadline for all others is March 1, 2008. We will not be accepting applications postmarked after this time.

Are there any exceptions? The ONLY circumstance we will allow a student to enroll in Music Clinic after the final deadline is if they have just enrolled in a Northern New England Conference school and have not had the opportunity to apply previously.

Fees & Refunds
There is a $40 application fee. This fee covers the expenses of purchasing music, hiring clinicians, food, decorations, equipment purchases, etc. There is a $10 early bird discount for applications and payment received by December 1, 2007. THERE WILL BE NO REFUND OF FEES AFTER THE MARCH 1 DEADLINE. Refunds prior to March 1 will be received only after any loaned music is returned to the Northern New England Conference Office of Education.

PEANUTS AND PEANUT BUTTER are not allowed at Music Clinic due to a very serious allergy concern at Pine Tree Academy.
