  • ABOUT THIS ENROLLMENT FORM:

    This document is your official statement of commitment to participate in PYC's programs for the upcoming season. 

    We recommend clicking through the above tabs first to orient yourself before getting started. We estimate this form will take between 10-15 minutes to complete. If auto-fill is enabled on your browser, your browser will locally store your answers every time you press "Next" at the bottom of the page, and you'll be able to come back to your work at a later time.

    Please fill out the following registration form completely and do not omit any items. If a question does not apply to you, write N/A in the provided space.

    Please fill out one form per student.

  • Program Selection

  • Pittsburgh Youth Chorus offers many different programs throughout the school year and summer. To learn more about all of our programs, click here.

    Please select the program that you plan on registering for this season.

  • Singer Information

  • Parent/Guardian Information

  • NOTE: For purposes of this form, the Primary Parent/Guardian is the first person to be contacted in case of emergency and/or any PYC-related communications. 

  • BILLING CONTACT

    For purposes of this form, the billing contact is the person responsible for handling tuition invoices and making sure they are paid in a timely manner. PYC invoices will be distributed via e-mail, so it is important that you enter at least one (1) valid e-mail address. If you would like to enter multiple e-mail addresses, please separate them with a comma and no spaces (i.e., max@example.com,babou@example.com,etc@example.com).

  • EMERGENCY CONTACT

    In the event that we cannot reach the primary or secondary guardian in the case of an emergency, event, or transportation issue throughout the season, please provide us with one additional emergency contact as a back-up. 

  • School Info

  • 0/150

  • Student Health & Medical Information

  • EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT

    In an emergency, every effort will be made to contact the primary parent/guardian and/or emergency contacts as designated in this form. However, a situation might arise which requires that your child receive immediate medical care at the nearest medical facility.  In the final disposition of an emergency case, if parents/guardians or emergency contacts cannot be reached, the judgment of PYC's staff and representatives will prevail in regards to securing the safety of its members. If, at any time, any of the above information changes, I (the Parent/Guardian) will notify PYC's executive director in writing. Please check below if your child may undergo routine and emergency medical treatment.

  • The PYC Singer and Parent(s)/Guardian(s) agree that the electronic signatures on the last page of this form are intended to authenticate this writing and to have the same force and effect as a manual signature.

  • Additional Questions & Membership Agreement

  • PARENT VOLUNTEERS DURING REHEARSAL

  • To ensure for the smooth running of rehearsal, PYC gratefully accepts the volunteer efforts of parents. We call these parents PODs (Parents on Duty).

     For the 2024-25 Season, we are looking for Lead PODs for each of our choirs. These volunteers are parents who would be able to be at least 15 minutes early to rehearsal (arriving by 6:00 pm for a rehearsal that begins at 6:15), be present for most every rehearsal, and be willing to help with the supervision of break time.

  • Tuition Option Selection

  • Paying in Full: The simplest way to pay tuition is to pay in full during your initial registration. If you pay in full on or before April 15, 2024, we also offer a special early bird discount that offers between $30 and $95 off the full price, depending on the program.

     

    Half Now, Half Later: The next option for paying tuition is the "Half Now, Half Later" option. If selecting this option, the first half of your tuition is due upon your submission of this form, and the second half is due by November 1, 2024. If selecting this option, you will receive a reminder in October about the second payment.

     

    9 Monthly Payments: This year, we are introducing a monthly payment option. If selecting this option, you will set up a recurring credit card payment after you register. We will track your payments for you and turn off recurring payments after your balance has been fulfilled. 

     

    Volunteer Discounts: PYC has a partnership with the Aramark, the food service company that provides food vending at Acrisure Stadium. PYC families are invited to register to volunteer at stadium events, and in return, PYC will discount your tuition in the amount that Aramark donates to PYC for your volunteer time. If you register for this program early, you could feasibly pay for your entire tuition obligation in this way. CLICK HERE for more information and to register. 

     

    Sibling Discount: We love having siblings in our programs, but we know that the tuition can really start to add up! We offer a 10% discount for any sibling after the first. The discount code should be applied to the lower priced tuition(s) and can be found at the top of the payment page for each program.

     

    Income-Based Sliding Scale Tuition: A sliding scale tuition option is available for our yearlong programs for families with total household incomes up to $100,000. A short application is required for use of the sliding scale. Those who apply for sliding scale tuition will be asked to report their total household income for 2023, estimated income for 2024, and household size (i.e. how many people consider the household their primary residence). CLICK HERE to view and submit the application

     

    IMPORTANT: You must complete and submit this registration form before your application can be accepted and reviewed. If you choose "Yes" for the question below, you will be emailed the link to the sliding scale application when you submit this form. If choosing this option, please complete both forms in as close to the same time as possible.

     

    Refund Policy:

    For new families who have never had a singer enrolled in a year-long program, we offer a full refund through October 15 (minus a $75 administrative fee, included in your first tuition payment), should you decide that the program is not a good fit for your family. Similarly, half tuition may be refunded through January 15.

    For returning families, a full refund (minus a $75 administrative fee, included in your first tuition payment) may be offered through September 10 if your family circumstances have changed over the summer, precluding your child from participating.

      

  • As you choose your payment option below, remember...

    CHECKS SAVE ON BANK FEES!! :-)

  • PAYMENTS: As a general rule, PYC requires all tuition payments to be made prior to November 1. Families who selected the "Half Now, Half Later" payment option above are expected to make two equal installments:

    First Payment: Made immediately via the payment link you will be directed to after submitting this form by selecting the "Half Now, Half Later" ticket option

    Second Payment: Made on or before November 1, 2023 at the same payment link. You will receive a reminder about the payment link in October from PYC.
