Parent Participation Agreement

Greater Miami Youth Symphony (GMYS) is a non-profit organization supported by the parents of students enrolled in GMYS. Parent participation and support is extremely valued and essential to the success of GMYS. Please read and agree to the following requirements when enrolling a student in the GMYS:
 
GMYS has always been at its core a parent run organization. In addition to the mandatory parent obligations outlined above, at least one parent from each family is required to volunteer at least 10 hours to the organization per year, or donate $100 to opt out of the 10 hour volunteer obligation. Volunteer hours will be tracked in each ensemble and may include, but not limited to the following activities:

• Apply to participate on the GMYS Board of Trustees, or on any board committee. (Limited Space Available)
• Actively participate as Ensemble Parent Liaison
• Donate COVID-19 Sanitation Materials (hours given per supply donated)
• Assist at the Sanitation Stations
• Volunteer to assist with any other organizational duties such as clerical, office, music library, repairs, social media, publicity,
marketing, website, technology, etc. (as requested and overseen by Executive Director or committee chairperson)

overseen by Executive Director)
• Assist at Administrative office as coordinated and overseen by the Executive Director)
• Purchase or Solicit an advertisement for GMYS Season Playbill

I have read and understand the parent support and participation requirements. I agree to the volunteer hours as stated, and understand if I am unable to volunteer my time, I will pay a $100 fee to opt out of the 10 hour requirement. Agreement is per family, not per student. Families who pay the $100 fee will be recognized as donors in the GMYS Playbill.

Ensemble Attendance Student Contract

Attendance to ALL rehearsals and concerts is vital to the success of the GMYS program. The true musical and educational experience of the organization is dependent upon having every child at every rehearsal. Students should arrive 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start of each rehearsal to tune and warm up. Rehearsals will end on schedule unless otherwise notified. Please report all absences in advance to the GMYS office (305) 667-4069 or via email at info@gmys.org. Unexcused absences are those absences not reported to GMYS before rehearsal, excluding emergencies and extenuating circumstances. Students with more than two unexcused absences in one semester will not be eligible to perform in the December or May concerts, will not be able to apply for summer camp employment, will be ineligible for current and future scholarships from GMYS, and will not receive community service hours from GMYS. Virtual students must have their cameras on during their Zoom meetings. Students not engaged will be considered as absent. Students with an unexcused absence at a concert will be dismissed from GMYS. The use of cell phones or other electronic devices is strictly prohibited during rehearsal time. Students can be placed on probation for the following reasons. The ensemble director will establish terms of probation.
• Students who were ineligible to perform in a concert because of attendance
• Tardiness or absence from dress rehearsal
• Excessive tardiness (more than three) to weekly rehearsals
• Inappropriate behavior including but not limited to: disrespect, excessive disruption, unauthorized use of cell phone, etc.
Any student placed on probation can be declared ineligible to advance to the next orchestra, i.e. a Concert student with poor attendance might not be eligible to audition for Symphony. Seating can be affected by any unexcused absence or tardy and can also be affected by probation. Students are responsible for signing in at rehearsals with the designated personnel. Students with perfect attendance will be eligible for various gifts or honors. Rehearsal cancellations by GMYS due to severe weather conditions will be posted on the website and recorded on the office telephone. Dress rehearsals for concerts will take place the day of each concert prior to the performance. These rehearsals are the only opportunity for each orchestra to adapt to the acoustics and logistics of the stage. It also gives vital opportunity for each player to experience the venue in which the concert will take place. Please note that:
• Dress Rehearsals and Concerts are mandatory. *Subject to Change*
• Anyone who misses Dress Rehearsal will not be allowed to perform in the concert.
• Unexcused absence from a Dress Rehearsal or Concert may result in dismissal from GMYS for the remainder of the year.
 
CONCERT ATTIRE IS STRICTLY ENFORCED. Failure to comply may result in a performer’s loss of privilege, at the Conductor’s discretion.
 
• Concert Attire will be determined by ensemble.

* Community Service Hours will only be given out at the end of the fall and spring semesters.
