CAMP REGISTRATION On Tuesday, July 8, all residents will register at the JMU Festival Conference and Student Center (see camp map). Registration will be held 12:00-3:00pm. During this time, students will receive a registration packet that will include: a detailed schedule for your specific camp, nametag, dorm room key, conference meal card, camp T-shirt, lanyard, and camp water bottle. There will also be an information/administration table for individuals with questions about payments or other camp details. After registration, participants will move into their assigned rooms in the Shenandoah and Chesapeake Halls on East Campus, or Gifford Hall on the Quad (concert band participants only). For your convenience (and to relieve congestion in the registration area), it is recommended that you do not unload any luggage from your vehicle until you have completely registered and received your room assignment and keys. Once this is complete, you may proceed to your assigned residence hall.

PARKING for registration/move-in will be located at the C-12 lot, adjacent to the registration area. Please note that there is no parking adjacent to the residence halls – however, there is an easy path from the parking area to the dorms, and convenient entrances/exits and elevators at each resident location.

RESIDENT PARKING

If a camp participant will need to keep a vehicle on campus, he/she must notify the JMU Summer Band Camps in advance by calling the SBC hotline at (540) 568-6942. Participant vehicles will be registered with the university and parking will be arranged. All car keys will be given to the Counseling Directors during registration on Tuesday, July 8. At that time, a parking permit will be provided and this must be displayed while parking on campus. Car keys will be returned to the participant prior to the final performances on Saturday, July 12.
