The following information is intended to assist band directors who coordinate camp registration for students and/or provide fundraising money or scholarships for students to attend. Although parents and students are asked to send questions to bands@lamar.edu (to ensure correct routing), questions by band directors are welcome and encouraged, and can be sent to the camp director, Andrew McMahan.
We suggest that all registrations be entered via the website if at all possible. Directors who feel that registering students as a group is best for their program should contact Andrew McMahan for individualized instructions and conditions.
Directors/Schools may send money to assist students with camp costs (e.g., scholarships, fundraising, etc.) We can be very flexible as to when the check(s) arrive; however, we need the list of students and the amounts to be credited to each student by June 1. This list, as well as any questions or concerns regarding making payments on behalf of students, can be sent to the camp director, Andrew McMahan.
Any student who you expect to receive money from your school to cover all camp costs should register as normal using the online form found on this page. Simply tell the parent that, when they get to the part of the process asking them to pay a deposit or the full amount, they can simply close the browser. We receive the registration information separately from the payment information, so as long as the parent/student fills out all of the form requirements up to the point at which they get to the "LU Marketplace" (i.e., the part of the process that asks for payment), we will still receive their registration information. Then, they can just let us know via email that they're expecting to receive money to cover the entire cost from their school.
It is very easy for us to refund money paid online. Therefore, we can refund any money paid by parents that is eventually covered by the school on a student's behalf. For example, if a parent registers and pays a deposit or the full amount, but then receives money from your band program as a scholarship or from fundraising, we can easily refund any applicable difference.
All directors should receive a full-color, 18"x24" poster via US Mail in March. If you do not receive a poster by the end of March, please contact Andrew McMahan.
Many questions asked by parents are answered in the camp handbook.
Thank you so much for your support of our summer band camp here at 四虎影视. We could not do it without you!
