        The following is taken from the ITA Web site

        <http://www.niu.edu/acad/music/ita/constitution.html>.



           The general purposes of the Association shall be: to promote

           communications among trombonists around the world; to improve

           the artistic level of performance, teaching, and literature

           associated with the trombone family; and to function as a

           clearing house for trombone related ideas and information.



        The following is taken from the President's Welcome at the

        ITA Web site <http://www.niu.edu/acad/music/ita/index.html>.



           Connecting people with mutual interests over borders,

           nations and continents is one of the most exciting

           aspects of modern technology. As the first non-American

           president of the International Trombone Association (ITA)

           I proudly welcome you to our official World Wide Web page.

           Our motto "Dedicated to the advancement of trombone

           teaching, performance and literature" - together with our

           quarterly magazine, the ITA Journal, - is now transported

           in the best possible way, carrying all sorts of valuable

           information worldwide to interested people, who are either

           already members of ITA or will be in due time. At this time

           we count 4,200 members all over the world and there are

           affiliated societies in Great Britain (Don Lusher, president),

           Finland (Petri Aarnio, president), Germany (Ben van Dyk,

           The ITA sponsors an annual week-long workshop called the

           International Trombone Festival. This is an important event

           in the trombone world. Each festival features excellent

           performances by trombonists from all genres of music, master

           classes taught by the world's best trombone pedagogues,

           premieres of important new works for the trombone,

           presentations of trombone related research, and ample

           opportunity for all attendees to play in trombone groups of

           any size.

           always exhibits a highly varied range of backgrounds:

           professionals (symphonic, jazz, free lance), college

           teachers, K-12 teachers, students from all levels,

           and "Weekend Warriors".

          are stressed through daily trombone choir and quartet rehearsals.

          Master classes and technique classes are included daily. (Grades

          7-9; student must have completed school grade 6.)

          school grade 9.)



          Who Should Apply



          ISYM camps are open to junior and senior high school students; most

          students should have completed the sixth grade prior to

          camp attendance. It is of the utmost importance to maintain musical

          balance in ISYM ensembles. Because of this, enrollment is

          limited in certain camps.



          Application/Music History Form



          All students must complete an Application/Music History Form for

          the camp of their choice. This is accomplished with the

          assistance of public school teachers or private teachers.

          Information submitted will assist our coordinators in

          evaluating students for acceptance to the camp.



          Application Procedure



          Application/Music History Forms may be submitted to Illinois

          Summer Youth Music after January 1, 1998. These forms will be

          processed in the order received. An ISYM Health Form, which is

          sent to accepted campers, must be filled out and either

          returned to ISYM by mail or delivered by the student to us at

          First Day Registration to complete a camper's enrollment.

          Notification of acceptance or non-acceptance for the camp

          will be by letter. Final instructions, a map, Placement Audition

          information and excerpts, and schedule of reporting times for

          First Day Registration July 19 will be sent to each camper.



          Application Fee



          A $40 fee, which covers administrative costs of processing

          applications, must accompany the Application/Music History

          Form. This fee will be credited to the cost of the camp if

          the applicant is accepted. If an applicant is not accepted

          by ISYM, the application fee will be refunded. There will be

          no refund of this application fee for any other reason.



          Camp Fees



          RESIDENT: Anyone attending the camp who lives in the dormitory;

          price includes all meals, housing and instruction.

          COMMUTER: Anyone attending the camp who does not live in the

          dormitory;

          price includes instructional costs but does not

          include meals or housing. Meal tickets may be purchased

          directly from the housing division if a commuting student

          chooses to eat in the dorm.



          Resident (7 days) - $369 (US)

          Commuter (7 days) - $199  (US)



          Payment of Fees



          Students and/or scholarship groups may pay the balance

          due before the camp begins, or students may bring

          scholarship checks and final parent payments for First

          Day Registration.



          Placement Audition



          A Placement Audition as part of First Day Registration will

          be given within an organization or camp when the student

          arrives at ISYM.



          Summary



          Each camp has its own faculty of specialists. Each course of

          study has its own curriculum designed to meet the needs of

          those students enrolled. The beginning (very young or

          inexperienced) student should not enroll in the ISYM program.

          It is assumed that each enrollee can perform with reasonable

          facility comparable to other students at his/her age level.



          Illinois Summer Youth Music is sponsored by the Continuing

          Education and Public Service division of the School of Music

[5.6] Where can I get information on summer music camps?



        On Thu, 18 Sep 1997 08:56:04 -0400 (EDT), David Fetter

[5.7] What are some trombone related summer music camps?



        On Sat, 1 Nov 1997 06:46:01, Byron Siegal <[e-mail]>

        wrote the following in the message entitled "Fwd: Band Camp For

        Grownups: PREregistration--Save $$":



          Jazz Vermont the 5 1/2 day band camp dedicated to the music

          of Kenton, Gillespie, Basie, Marsalis, and more announces its

          1998 preregistration.  The dates for 1998 are July 19-24th at

          the Stratton Mountain Inn in Stratton, VT. Join one of our

          four bands.  Rehearsals and workshops run all day long.  End

          of week performance for the public.



          Each year 70% of the participants return and as a result

          some instrument categories get tight early so its a good

          idea to preregister now. Preregistration deposits are

          refundable upon request prior to April 15, 1998.  So if you

          Think you might want to come,  you can reserve now and if

          something comes up cancel later.  Preregistration saves you

          10% on the price of the camp.



          Special offer for First-Time Trombone, Bass or electric Bass,

          and Guitar players:  (Reg. $1379.00  Special Offer-$999.00).



          For further information send us your snail mail address and

          we'll forward a brochure or visit our website.

          Jazz Vermont

          P.S.  One of our participants said last summer when awarding

          a gift from the band members to the director of the Wentworth

          Wonder Band, "It isn't often in our day to day life that we

          experience joy.  This entire week has been a joyful experience,

          I'll be back next year!"



[5.8] What is the Australian Trombone Association (ATA)?



        The following is quoted from the ATAs Web page

        <http://www.powerup.com.au/~ata/>:



          The International Trombone Association is a non-profit

          organisation comprising approximately 2,296 members in

          45 countries. The Australian Chapter of the International

          Trombone Association (ITA) was formed in 1973. Since that time,

          ITA Australia has held many national seminars and one

          International Symposium in Brisbane in 1988. This international

          event represents the first time an Australian instrumental

          group has organised an event of this magnitude.



          The Associations aims include the promotion of the trombone

          and the education of trombone players, teachers and listeners to

          develop the awareness of the instrument as well as it's

          enjoyment and its ongoing development.



          The main point of contact between the association and

          its members is the magazine ATEM (Australian Trombone

          Education Magazine) which is published quarterly and sent to

          all members.
