      I understand and accept the risk of become exposed to or infected by COVID-19, Monkeypox, or other communicable disease at a Music Together class as a result of actions, omissions, or negligence of myself or others, including, but not limited to, the owners, employees, contractors, agents, and volunteers of Music Fun, LLC d/b/a Music Together of Bay Ridge, other program participants and their families, agents or employees of the locations where classes are held, and the general public.
