Online www.yahouston.org What information do I need to have ready when scheduling a program? • The program(s) that interest you
How will I know when the program I booked is confirmed? Young Audiences of Houston programs are subject to artist availability. After the artist has verified his/her availability, we will confirm the details with you by phone or e-mail. We recommend that you schedule programs as early in the school year as possible to reserve the artists and dates of your preference. Upon program confirmation, you will also receive a YAH Information Packet that will include an Invoice/Performance Agreement, a Curriculum Connections Guide, and a Young Audiences of Houston Evaluation Form. Please make sure all equipment needs listed on the Invoice/Performance Agreement are met by the date of the program. Seventy-two hours prior to the scheduled performance the Young Audiences of Houston artist will call to confirm the program. Who is in charge of classroom management? For all workshops, residencies, and performances, a licensed teacher or a school administrator representative must be present in the room at all times. There are no exceptions to this policy. What is the Curriculum Connection Guide? Young Audiences of Houston has prepared a Curriculum Connections guide for each program that detail goals and objectives, TEKS/ TAKS curriculum ties, discussion ideas, extension activities, vocabulary words, and teacher resources. These guides provide the teacher with the supplemental information to integrate the arts into the classroom. Activity guides can be downloaded from our website and one will be included in your information packet after booking a program. We encourage teachers to utilize this resource for classroom extensions before and after each YAH program to enhance the learning experience. Please make copies of this guide and distribute to the educators, parents, and administrators prior to every YAH program. What about supplies? When a workshop or residency requires supplies to be provided by the school or site, the contact person will be sent a detailed list of required items when the workshop is initially booked. These materials are a crucial component of many programs. Artists are available to discuss these needs with the school or site, if requested. Some programs require a per student supply fee, our scheduling coordinator will provide you will the fee associated with each program when scheduling and what it will cover. What forms of payment does YAH accept? Credit Cards- Amex, Visa, and MasterCard All checks should be made payable to Young Audiences of Houston and mailed to our offices at 4550 Post Oak Place, Suite 230, Houston, Texas, 77027. When is the payment due? Once you receive your information packet, please return your invoice along with your payment to the Young Audiences of Houston office. Payment must be received at least 14 days before the scheduled program. If payment is not received by that date, the program may be cancelled. Please do not give payments to the artist at the scheduled event, as they are not authorized to accept payments. If your payment is late please notify our scheduling coordinator as soon as possible.
