I am the parent and/or legally authorized guardian of the child participating in the Dance Department Audition (the “Audition”). On behalf of myself, my spouse, my child/ward (the “Participant”), and my/our heirs, personal representatives, and assigns, I understand and agree to the following: 1. Assumption of Risks: that participation in the Audition and related travel, events and activities is entirely voluntary and that participation in the Audition involves risks of injury due to certain inherent dangers that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid them. These injuries include, but are not limited to: physical contact with other individuals; contact with the ground, surfaces, fixtures, and equipment; and strenuous exertions, quick movements, and changes of speed, which place stress on the cardiovascular, muscular, and skeletal systems. The specific injury risks vary from (1) minor injuries such as scratches, bruises and sprains, to (2) major injuries such as eye injury or loss of sight, joint injuries, back injuries, heart attacks, and concussions, to (3) catastrophic injuries including paralysis and death. I agree, on behalf of the Participant, to assume these risks. I understand that if I or the Participant have questions about possible hazards, it is our responsibilities to seek additional information from the dance staff prior to signing this Agreement. I also understand that, despite safety precautions, the Audition cannot guarantee that the Participant will not be injured 2. Waiver, Release and Hold Harmless: that in consideration for allowing the Participant to participate in the Audition, I agree not to sue and I hereby release, waive, discharge, hold harmless, indemnify, and defend the Workshop, its employees, staff, volunteers, agents, directors, affiliates, sponsors, representatives, and Mater Dei High School from any and all liability, losses, damages, claims, actions, and causes of action of every nature for any and all known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, bodily or personal injuries, property damage, or other loss relating in any way to the Participants’ involvement in the Audition. 3. Medical Release and Authorization: that I am unaware of any health issue or restriction that would affect the Participant’s involvement in the Audition. The Participant has had a recent medical evaluation and is fully fit for the Audition. In the event of an emergency, I authorize the dance staff to act for me in its best judgment in rendering any medical attention to the Participant. I further understand that I will be responsible for any medical expenses relating to the Participant’s involvement in the Audition.
