Registration: Attendance on both days is preferred. However, players of instruments with an excess of applicants may be asked to attend one day only. Please apply for the day(s) you would like, and let us try to accommodate you. Also indicate your availability for one or both days.

College of Marin now requires separate pre-registration and tuition payment of $25. Instructions for pre-registering as a COM student will be sent to applicants who are accepted. Current CMNC workshop fees are reduced by $25 (per participant, not per day) so your total cost is comparable to our other workshops.

The workshop fee includes Saturday lunch, Saturday dinner, Sunday lunch, and break refreshments (depending on which days you attend.)

  I am a CMNC Member requesting financial assistance/scholarship (includes new members).
Instructions: Pay your membership dues if not current. After being accepted, everyone will receive instructions to register and pay the required College of Marin fee of $25.
The cost of meals/breaks is nearly $70 for the weekend.
We invite you to make a donation of whatever amount you can afford, using the "Supplemental Payment > Other" option on our payment page. Thank you.

On Saturday, there will be coaching for all groups.
On Sunday, only preformed groups will have coaching, and all other Sunday players will be in two uncoached sessions. Each participant may be in only one preformed group for the weekend.

Unfortunately our venues are limited in size despite the growth of our popularity.  Applicants should know that we consider all applications up to the deadline date, but sometimes have to wait-list or drop people to one day to manage instrument balance and oversubscription. 

Amounts are $25 less per participant than other CMNC workshops because separate $25 COM pre-registration is required.

Meals:
I prefer vegetarian meals

Additional guest meals:
$14 each: Lunch Saturday or Sunday
$18 each: Dinner Saturday
I am including an extra payment for additional meals for my guests:

I have a physical limitation which makes it difficult to climb stairs or walk long distances.

I am interested in becoming more active in CMNC activities and offer to assist at the workshop.
