Organized sports are part of the Festival program. Insurance Parents are advised to provide health insurance for their children attending the Festival. If students are in need of a physician or the services of Fox Hospital, Oneonta, charges will be made by the doctors directly to the parents. If you wish to have an instrument insured, it should be added to your parents' homeowners' policy. Festival Dress Festival students must be dressed appropriately at all times.
Students dress in slacks, shorts and sportswear.
Students in Festival Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra traditionally wear white blouses or shirts with dark, preferably black, skirts or trousers.

Students are expected to dress neatly, assume individual responsibility for maintaining their rooms and caring for their instruments, and behave in an acceptable manner on and off campus.
