PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

To parent and student: Please read this Agreement before signing and making initial tuition payment - enrollment is not complete until this form is completed and payment is submitted.

• Student Agreement: By completing this form, I accept membership in the Colorado Springs Youth Symphony Association and agree to follow all schedules, policies, and expectations.

  • As a representative of the Youth Symphony, I will conduct myself in a positive and professional manner and wear the required concert uniform, including natural hair colors and no visible piercings (other than ears) or tattoos.

  • If my school offers a music program, I will participate.

  • I will uphold the Association’s Rules of Behavior and address any emergency scheduling conflicts promptly and responsibly with the appropriate person.

  • I understand that failure to comply with this agreement may result in termination of my membership.

• Parent Agreement: As the parent/guardian of a Youth Symphony Association member, I acknowledge my responsibilities to both the Association and my student.

  • I will remain current on all financial and fundraising obligations and ensure my child follows the Association schedule and participates fully. If a school music program is available, my child will participate.

  • I understand that any change in my child’s participation status must be submitted in writing to the office and that, unless a special exception is granted, I am responsible for full tuition for the season. Excessive absences or tardiness, inappropriate behavior, or unmet musical or financial obligations may result in dismissal. I accept responsibility for any damage to music or property caused by my child.

  • I authorize the Colorado Springs Youth Symphony Association to use my child’s name or photograph for press releases, stationery, direct mail, publicity, newspaper articles, the website, or other non-demeaning promotional purposes. When possible, advance notice will be provided.

  • I understand that camp, dress rehearsal, concert, and tour participation is required.
