Due to circumstances beyond our control, you only have the option of staying over until Saturday morning at the end of WEEK "A."

If you plan on staying in the dorms on FRIDAY, JULY 6th, YOU MUST LET US KNOW BY JUNE 1st - NO EXCEPTIONS. If you do NOT let us know that you will be staying FRIDAY NIGHT, we MAY GIVE YOUR ROOM TO SOMEONE ELSE. Please remember, the dorms MUST BE EMPTY BY 9:00am ON SATURDAY MORNING. Absolutely NO exceptions can be made.

YOU CAN NOT STAY IN THE DORMS ON FRIDAY, JULY 13th. If travel arrangements dictate that you stay in Louisville on Friday, July 13th, you MUST MAKE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS.

Most Week-long Workshop participants, and almost all of our faculty and staff, will stay in the dorms. The dorms are the nicest on campus, but they almost all in a suite where you will share a bathroom with 1 other room.

• Workshop participants 21 and under will most likely be staying in Louisville Hall.
• Adult participants will most likely be staying in either Kurz Hall or Community Park.

WE CAN NOT GUARANTEE -- UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES -- WHICH DORM YOU WILL BE STAYING.

We are provided rooms by the University of Louisville Properties based on the location and amount of students that leave the university for the summer. If students stay for summer classes, we cannot have their rooms. We cannot be guaranteed of anything by the univeristy and we ask that you do not guarantee anything from us.

Rooms are DOUBLE occupancy, and unless you have a specific roommate request, we will pair you with someone of the same sex, age, and instrument, in that order of priority and as best as possible. Yes, we have participants of all ages, so there will be others there your age. Roommate requests are accepted, but we must receive them in writing before June 1st. Typically, we book all of the students who are approx. 21 and under in the same building. In turn, we book all the students who are over 21 in another building. We also have dorm arrangements reserved for "families" who may be attending together. For example, father and son, mother and daughter, mother and son, etc., AND we have dorm arrangements for MARRIED couples, and consenting adults. All of these example situations would be placed around others in the same situation for maximum comfort, as best as possible.

All participants staying in the dorms should BRING THEIR OWN LINEN as well as:

• 2 Sheets (one fitted); Regular twin sheets are typically too small; Extra long twin sheets are best; better too big than too small.
• A Blanket
• Towels
• Wash cloths and soap, shampoo, etc.
• Alarm clock
• PILLOW and a pillowcase
• Any other personal items

While most participants will take the plunge and stay in the dorms, some adult participants will feel more comfortable in a hotel. If you choose to stay in a hotel, you might try:

• The Quality Inn and Suites - Airport @ (502) 638-6100.
This hotel is the closest to the School of Music. It is located a few blocks from the University (at the corner of Gaulbert and Arthur Streets, just off I-65 South), so you will likely need a car to get back and forth from campus, but not necessarily (depends on your ability/desire to walk a few blocks either way). We do NOT recommend you stay at the Days Inn which is next to The Quality Inn - we have heard some bad reports about this particular Days Inn. (The Quality Inn and Suites is quite nice, though, seriously). We have been informed that they may give a discount at the Quality Inn if you mention why you're coming - so be sure to ask, it's worth a shot though NOT guaranteed.

If the Quality Inn and Suites are full, then you should consider trying the hotels listed below which are near the airport (you WILL need a car, but it's only about 10-15 minutes to drive to campus from these hotels). They are listed in no particular order, but each is about 4-5 miles or less from the campus:

• The Columbine Bed & Breakfast, Only 1 and 1/2 blocks from campus. 10% discount for Workshop Participants (Mention Jamey Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshops when booking).
• Executive West Hotel, Near Airport, 502-367-2251 (Mention Workshops!)
• Sleep Inn, Preston Hwy, 502-368-9597 (Mention Workshops!)
• Holiday Inn Southwest, Dixie Hwy, 502-448-2020 (Mention Workshops!)
• Best Western Ashton Inn Suites, Phillips Lane, 502-375-2233
• Comfort Inn Airport, Phillips Lane, 502-361-5008
• Hampton Inn Airport/Fair Expo.Ctr., Philips Lane, 502-366-8100
• Executive Inn, Near Airport, 502-367-6161

Any of these places will be able to help you get from their location to the University of Louisville.
