management needed to facilitate the performance. When applicable, this will include an orchestra of professional

entrance to all rehearsals, dress rehearsal, concert and the VIP artist and patron reception. Without a formal artist
badge, there will be no admittance to any of these events.

your performance including rehearsal notes, Online Director’s Conferences, Message Board, advance ticket sales, and

DCINY and ACFEA are independent parties and not affiliated with each other.
• Participants who do not book through ACFEA are required to submit their confirmed itineraries to DCINY 60 days in
advance of their performance (including travel arrangements, residency hotels, and any transfers). It is the
responsibility of each participant to arrive in New York with adequate time prior to the first scheduled rehearsal.
• It is the responsibility of each artist to be present and on time to each scheduled event. All performers are expected to
be musically prepared and to conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times. DCINY reserves the right to
withdraw rehearsal and performance rights from any artist who fails these obligations and to dismiss them from their
participation immediately with no refund of monies paid.
• All participants agree to adhere to and recognize all decisions made by DCINY as final relating to their performance.
