June 2013 Dear Students: Welcome to Aspen! Many of you are returning alumni and you probably have some great ideas about how to get the most from your summer here. Some of you are coming for the first time; I hope I can give you some advice, and, even better, I hope the returning students will help you. Aspen is a place like no other, where we hope you will see your future in music through an exciting combination of work and play. Aspen alumni who are performing everywhere in the world often feel that their experience here was a crucial entrance into a lifetime of music-making – the friendships you will form and the unique opportunities to live, learn, and perform side by side with some of the world’s leading musicians create a powerful network for your future. You are coming for an especially important and happy moment in the history of Aspen: the opening of Phase One of our new teaching campus. If you’ve been in Aspen before, you will appreciate the dramatic positive change we’ll experience being able to rehearse two orchestras on the campus and the new practice rooms (and especially the fantastic new percussion center!). If it’s your first time, I think you’ll agree that we now have teaching and practice facilities worthy of you, and comparable to our beautiful Harris Hall and Music Tent. This summer parking will be very limited on the campus, but the bus service and the opportunity to use our bikes should make transportation easy. A deeply important part of your Aspen experience should be non-musical: you should spend some serious time outdoors. People of all ages who live in Aspen tend to be very athletic, and if this describes you, you’re in luck, because the Aspen Experience is all about outdoor sports. But if you are absolutely un-athletic, you will also find plenty of company. Hike (walk) the Rio Grande Trail, ride the gondola, go rafting, sit under a tree (that’s outdoors, after all) – just take a break! It’s stunning how many of the leading musicians of the world – soloists, chamber musicians, teachers, orchestral players, arts managers, conductors – are Aspen alumni. In every case, they found something unique here. We want to help you to join them. My email is afletcher@aspenmusic.org. Most of the time, I’ll be roaming around the campus and town looking into rehearsals and meetings, but my office is in the Business Building of the Bucksbaum Campus. My assistant is Amy Baum – abaum@aspenmusic.org, 970-205-5011 and if you ever want to see me for a meeting, she can make it happen. All of us at the Aspen Music Festival and School are delighted to welcome you into a family that will be yours throughout your life in music, as you join us in an inspiring and memorable summer. Yours,
Alan Fletcher President and CEO

NEWS from the DEPARTMENT OF OPERATIONS
SMOKING POLICY REMINDER All AMFS buildings and housing facilities, including Burlingame, Marolt as well as the Meadows and Bucksbaum Campus grounds are smoke-free. Smoking is also strictly prohibited at the Aspen Middle School and High School grounds! It is illegal to smoke on any school property in the state of Colorado. PARKING AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION Students living in student housing--Burlingame, Marolt, Highlands—will receive a parking hangtag. Displaying this hangtag will be critical as we will tow vehicles that do not have permits. Student parking for the Tent and Harris Hall is limited to the large Gillespie Street lots located in front of the Benedict Music Tent. The newly-renovated Bucksbaum Campus is a PEDESTRIAN Campus. There is NO STUDENT OR VISITOR PARKING. Unauthorized cars parked on Campus will be booted and/or fined. 14 | 2013 Student Registration Packet
Aspen Music Festival and School
The Roaring Fork Transit Authority (RFTA) has generously printed a schedule that is targeted specifically for festival students, faculty and staff. These schedules have been included in your registration packet and extra copies are available at the Office of Student Services. In addition, a weekly schedule which notes the bus routes that divert to the Music Tent/Harris Hall will be posted at the Bucksbaum Campus bus shelter, backstage at the Benedict Music Tent and at the Marolt housing. If more than 10 people on a RFTA bus request that the driver make an unscheduled stop at the Tent, the bus WILL accommodate. NOTE: The Cross Town Shuttle will continue to run during the 2013 season with service ending at 9pm. This service is very helpful if you want to travel to the Tent and don’t want to risk taking a bus that may or may not be able to accommodate the Tent stop. Schedules for the Cross Town Shuttle are available at Rubey Park. IMPORTANT: We encourage everyone to use public transportation whenever possible. If you encounter any difficulties with the RFTA service, please contact the Operations Department at extension 5022 immediately. BIKE RACKS PLEASE USE THEM! You will damage trees and other equipment if you chain your bike to a place where it does not belong. The Bucksbaum Campus racks are located in various locations throughout the grounds. The racks at the Meadows are located on the south side of the grounds near the bus stop and hospitality tent area. A limited number of racks will also be available on the north side of the Meadows grounds. ASPEN PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAMPUS Many rehearsals, lessons, and coachings take place at the Aspen Middle School and Aspen High School located on Maroon Creek Road. While using the facilities, please observe the following policies: food or drink is not permitted inside the building or classrooms; smoking anywhere on the campus is strictly prohibited; and classroom windows must remain closed.
THE GREAT WILD… Is right at our back door, and you may encounter bears during your stay here. If you come across a bear, make yourself as big as possible and make loud noises. These actions should cause the bear to go away. IMPORTANT: If you see a bear with cubs (younger bears), speak words in a quiet, soothing tone, and back away slowly. A mother with cubs will be more protective and dangerous in this situation and may act aggressively if you make loud, “scary” noises. Above all, DO NOT FEED ANY BEARS. Regardless of the gender of the bear, if you try to feed it, you are putting yourself at risk. To discourage bears from coming to the Campus, we have several bear-proof trash cans. They are large brown boxes that have a latch lid on top. Please discard your garbage in these cans to help us keep bear sighting to a minimum. Food and drink are NOT allowed in practice rooms. Please help us keep practice rooms safe from bears and do not bring or leave any food in the practice rooms! BUCKSBAUM CAMPUS DOG POLICY Due to continued construction throughout the summer of 2013, no dogs or pets are permitted on the Bucksbaum Campus. BENEDICT MUSIC TENT and HARRIS CONCERT HALL CAMPUS DOG POLICY 15 | 2013 Student Registration Packet
Aspen Music Festival and School
The environment of the AMFS is a casual and friendly one where staff members work in close quarters with their colleagues and must always be respectful of others. Having dogs on campus can contribute to that relaxed, friendly feeling, if owners continue to respect their colleagues and others. The following apply to all dogs on campus: There are no dogs permitted inside any AMFS buildings. Dogs should be kept under control at all times. Dogs should be kept in the owner’s immediate work area and should not be left to wander around buildings unattended. Barking should be kept to a minimum as it disturbs people who are working or are on the phone. If a staff member has an issue with a dog’s behavior, they should feel free to bring the issue up with the owner or the owner’s manager. Owners MUST pick up after their dogs. Dogs should not be left outside unattended for this reason. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR CAMPUS AND ASPEN PUBLIC SCHOOL MAPS FOR ADDITIONAL OFFICE, STUDIO AND PRACTICE ROOM LOCATIONS.

Visit the Chamber Music Library for the following reasons: Pick up music for the Aspen Contemporary Ensemble (ACE), Special Events, and Recitals Check out solo repertoire, vocal repertoire, miniature orchestral scores and chamber music Getting your part: Before you go to the appropriate library to pick-up your music, make sure you know: 1) what orchestra you are in; 2) what your part assignment is; 3) what piece(s) you’re playing, and; 4) when your first rehearsal is. Once you get your part, you must sign for it with the understanding that it is a borrowed part and should be taken care of appropriately. If a folder is not issued to you, you may request one from your librarian. Wind, brass, percussion and outside string players are issued original parts. Inside string players have the option of sharing music with their stand partner or requesting a practice copy from their librarian. At Rehearsals: If you pick up your parts before the first rehearsal, remember to bring it with you to rehearsal. If you didn’t pick up your parts, it will be on your stand 30 minutes before the first rehearsal. *You may take your parts home after rehearsal, provided that you remember to bring them to the next service. The black folders used for all ensembles must NOT be taken from rehearsals or concerts. Please use other folders from your librarian to help protect your music when taking it home. *You may also choose to leave your parts after rehearsal, but please leave them in a closed folder on your stand At Concerts: Please leave ALL music and folders on the stand after your performance. Any music not picked up by your librarian immediately after the concert is subject a fine of $1 per part per day. If you would like to borrow your part past the performance, please ask your librarian BEFORE the concert. Replacement costs for parts not turned in range from $15-$75+, depending on whether the part is purchasable. Individual Part Requests: If you would like to take a look at an orchestral part for an audition, or just for fun, come to the Student Orchestra Library. Our orchestral catalog has over 1,650 titles. All you need to do is fill out a form (you can request up to three parts at a time), and give us at least three days to get the parts ready for you. Unfortunately, we cannot let you use our photocopy machine (try City Market or the public library downtown).
