Participation and Attendance
I understand that I am an essential component of the Youth Orchestras and that my contribution to the group is highly valued. For this reason my presence is required at all rehearsals and concerts. I understand that it is my responsibility to check my schedules for conflicts and to report anticipated absences at least two weeks in advance (anticipated absences would include school concerts, college visits, family vacations, etc.). I also understand that I am allowed a maximum of 2 absences per semester, and that I may not miss any dress rehearsals or concerts.

Behavior
I agree to be a good team member, supportive of other musicians and respectful of coaches and conductors. I understand that I must arrive at least ten minutes prior to rehearsal start time so I can unpack and warm up before the conductor gives the downbeat.

Placement and Seating
I agree to accept as final the conductor’s decisions regarding my ensemble and seating placement. I understand that music is a collaborative experience and that the whole point is to work together toward a common (and beautiful) goal. I also understand that we can all, as conductor Benjamin Zander puts it, lead from any chair.

Photography/Videotaping
I, the undersigned (or undersigned parent/legal guardian, if participant is under 18 years of age), fully understand that photos and videos may be made during the course of YOOF activities, and that images may be used for internal, archival, educational, and/or promotional purposes. I give permission for use of my/participant’s image and/or voice or other performance by the Youth Orchestras of Fresno without any compensation to me or my child/ward.

Agreement

I have read and agree to abide by the policies described above, and I understand that there is a media release contained in this document.
