All applicants must sign the following:
I confirm that I would like to participate in the Orfeo Music Festival [OMF], but that acceptance is at the discretion of the OMF. I release OMF and its agents and employees, from any and all claims, demands, and causes of action on account of any injury, illness, or loss which may occur during my participation in the festival.
