2023-2024 Harmony Registration English

• Student Registration for 2023-2024 Harmony Program

  Please fill out the information below to apply to Harmony for the 2023-2024 academic year.
• 
  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 students are guaranteed a spot and will continue their same instrument.
  
  • New students are eligible for cello or violin and may indicate their preference below. We will do our best to honor students’ instrument preferences, but violin openings will be offered to 2nd and 3rd graders first, then to 4th/5th graders if space allows.
  
  • If instrument classes reach capacity, we will start a waitlist and add students if openings become available.

• 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 2023 – 2024 GTCYS Season.

I acknowledge that there are risks associated with participation including, but not limited to, physical and/or psychological injury, pain, suffering, illness, disfigurement, temporary or permanent disability, death or economic loss. Such injuries or outcomes may arise from GTCYS or other’s actions, inactions, or negligence, or the condition of GTCYS’ rented venues or facilities. I assume all risks of Student’s participation in GTCYS, whether known or unknown to us. I agree that 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, release GTCYS of all claims arising from Student’s participation in GTCYS and agree to indemnify, protect and save 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 which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against the GTCYS arising in whole or in part out of Student’s participation during the 2023-24 season.

• 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.
