Day-to-day dress will be informal. Keep in mind that we will have daily yoga sessions before lunch; make sure that you will be able to participate in all the stretches: standing, sitting, and laying down. Be prepared for very warm (occasionally hot) days. Nights (and air-conditioned facilities) are usually cooler and a sweater or light jacket may be needed. You will be walking quite a bit on campus - plan accordingly and bring appropriate footwear. NOTE: There are free laundry facilities in the dormitory.

Semi-formal: Shirt or blouse; capris, pants, or skirt (knee-length or below).
No shorts. No tank tops. No flip flops.

What should I wear for performances?
Formal attire: pants, dress shirts, formal shoes. Skirts and dresses should be knee-length or below while seated.

Chamber Music Assignments

Participants are expected to thoroughly know their part and the score as a whole prior to their arrival to IIMIF on June 16. Your ensemble will have up to 8 days to bring at least one of your assignments to performance level for the chamber music concert on Friday, June 24 (even less time if you play in a masterclass!). Listen to and play along with any available recordings, ask your teachers for help, and read up on the composer and particular work. Make sure that the measures are numbered before your first rehearsal. Copied/printed music should be spiral-bound or placed in a binder for easy page turns.
