Membership Fee and Refund Information
We are requesting a membership fee of $50 for the 2010-2011 season. You are not required to bring it to the Open Rehearsal (no commitment to be a member that day). But should you decide to stay with the Scarborough Society of Musicians as a member of the Concert Band, we are collecting these fees to cover the costs of running our rehearsals and concerts.
Refund Policy
Requests for membership fee refunds must be submitted by email to ssm(at)continuingmusic.ca. The following formula will calculate the appropriate refund amount:
Refund Amount = Membership Fee – (Rehearsals Elapsed x $10)
Please note that refunds cannot be granted after February 28th.
Not studying in Toronto? Don’t have too much time to commit?
We understand that post-secondary students lead busy lives and so one of our goals is to encourage a non-competitive, friendly environment for all of our members. We intend to rehearse twice a month on Saturdays so that students who are not studying in Toronto can have a chance to come back and still participate as much as they can.
Don’t have an instrument? We can help!
We understand that one of the foremost concerns of participating in a community band is not having an instrument. As such, the Scarborough Society of Musicians is currently making arrangements to assist interested musicians in purchasing or renting an instrument of their own. As such, we have been researching various rental options on your behalf. We would like to recommend Cosmo Music.
Here is a quick breakdown of Cosmo Music’s rental options:
You may rent by:
- Month
- Semester (September-January, September-June)
- School Year (September-June)
Rent-to-own Programs:
100% of payments in first 3 months may be applied towards the purchase of the rental instrument or a new instrument of the same type. 50% of payments are applied from the third month onwards. However, this must be a continuous contract until you have enough to purchase the instrument or a new one (once you return the instrument, your saved credits are gone).
Standard Protection Plan (included with all rentals)
Covers the regular wear and tear and if instrument is lost will only have to pay a set amount instead of a full year of replacement.
Deluxe Protection Plan
For only $1.00 per month, the Deluxe Protection Plan will cover full repair or replacement cost of the instrument if damaged, lost or stolen.*
*We highly recommend the Deluxe Protection Plan
Contract Renewal
Renewing a School Year contract (September-June) will allow you to have the instrument during the summer months of July and August as well without additional charge.
