Student Registration for 2022-2023 Harmony Program

Harmony is an exciting cello and violin program with openings for up to 75 students, including first-time participants in grades 2-5 and returning Harmony students from last year.

• Returning Harmony students are guaranteed a spot and will continue their same instrument.

I give my permission for the student named above to participate in GTCYS, which comprises a range of rehearsals, performances and social events.

I give my general consent to the administration of minor first aid to the student to deal with matters of comfort or convenience and not requiring the attendance of medical personnel (e.g. cleaning a minor cut or scrape, providing over the counter medicine, etc.).
In the event of an emergency, I authorize GTCYS to make arrangements for professional medical and surgical care for my child/ward without my prior approval. I understand that I will be notified by the quickest means possible if this authority is exercised. I also agree to accept financial responsibility for charges in excess of those covered by my health insurance.

Transportation

Because SPPS cannot provide bus transportation for Harmony at this time, participating families will need to use other means (walk, drive, carpool) to get to Harmony by 7:50am on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays starting October 25 – late May. Please answer the following questions about your transportation situation so we can do our best to help you.

Other information about your student

Is your child an English learner?*

What language do you speak at home?*

Student Interest*

Learning to play a musical instrument is fun and rewarding, but also requires hard work. Tell us why you want to play a musical instrument. (You may ask your child this, and write down their response here).

Parent Commitment*

Parental success and involvement is also important in a child's success in learning a musical instrument. Please tell us why you would like to see your child participate in Harmony, and how you will support his/her musical education (practice at home, take care of instrument, attend concerts, volunteer, etc.)

Release and Indemnification Agreement*

THIS RELEASE AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into between me and the Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies (“GTCYS”) in connection with the 2022 – 2023 GTCYS Season.

I, the parent and/or legal guardian of the student above, wish to have my student participate in GTCYS programs during the 2022 – 2023 academic year. I acknowledge that although GTCYS is taking steps to promote the health and safety of students, there are still risks of having my student participate, including the risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19. I have been given sufficient opportunity to ask questions and obtain information about the programs and measures being taken to promote health and safety. I understand that my student is free to withdraw from participation at any time. My contact information is included in this form.
I, the parent and/or guardian, agree that at my sole cost and expense, I will release and indemnify, protect and hold GTCYS harmless against and from any and all damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney fees and court costs) of any kind or any nature whatsoever arising in whole or in part out of my child’s participation in GTCYS during the 2022 – 2023 season. I enter into this Agreement without reservation of any kind except for liabilities arising out of any intentional wrongful acts on the part of GTCYS, its directors and employees.

This Agreement shall be binding upon the parent(s) or guardian(s) whose signature(s) appear(s) below and their respective assigns, and inures to the benefit of GTCYS, and its successors and assigns.

This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Minnesota.

Media Information and Code of Conduct

By participating in GTCYS, you give permission for your student's name and likeness to be used in any print, digital, or other promotional materials created by GTCYS or its program partners.

Instrument Loan Agreement*

Students have the opportunity to take their instruments home part way through the year (or at the beginning, if they are already enrolled in Philharmonia).

These instruments are very valuable both as musical instruments and as tools for learning. Taking home an instrument for practice at home can be fun and helpful to your learning, but you must remember the rules for proper instrument care and ownership.

Please review the rules for instrument care with your student, and indicate your agreement and understanding by checking the boxes and by signing your name at the bottom.

I agree to the following rules:

Do not leave your instrument in the car.
Do not leave your instrument anyplace where it will experience extremes of temperature or in high traffic areas where cracking or damage may occur.
Do not allow anyone but you or your parents or guardians to handle your instrument.
Contact your teacher if any damage happens to ensure a quick fix for future classes.
I agree that the instrument loaned to my child is properly cared for. In case of loss or damage to the instrument while in the possession of my child, I further agree to pay for the repair and/or replacement of the instrument.
I am not comfortable accepting responsibility for my child's instrument, and would prefer that they leave it at school.
