Announcement of Winners

Terms of Agreement

The flutist and/or parent/guardian agree to the following:

I understand that if I receive the honor of using one of these flutes, I am expected to return it in good playing condition to the Committee in charge at the end of the school year.
I agree to continue studying under a private instructor in the Wichita vicinity during the year that I am the recipient of the Kerr, Neff, or Hellar flute.
If I am selected as the recipient for the Wichita Public School Haynes Flute, I understand that I must be enrolled in my school band or orchestra. In the event that I choose to discontinue my participation in the school program, the flute must be returned to the Committee. (Although it is desirable for the recipient of the Public School Haynes flute to study under a private instructor, it is not mandatory.)
If awarded the use of the Kerr, Neff, Hellar or the Wichita Public Schools flute, I agree to pay $100.00, made payable to the Tack Flute Foundation, to offset the cost of yearly maintenance and insurance for the flute. This amount will be due upon receipt of the flute.
All decisions of the committee judges will be final.
Current recipients of the Tack Flute Foundation flutes must reapply and re-audition for the use of the flute an additional year. It is the hope of the Tack Flute Foundation that recipients will be able to purchase their own flutes thereafter. The Tack Flute Foundation is to be notified immediately if any change of address of a recipient. In the event that the recipient moves outside of the state, the flute must be returned before such a move is made. During the award year, if for any reason the recipient becomes unable to play the awarded instrument for the remainder of the award year, or the recipient purchases a new flute before the end of the year, the flute must then be returned to the Tack Flute Foundation immediately.

Current recipients of the Haynes flute must reapply and reaudition for the use of the flute an additional year.

In the event that the recipient moves outside of the state, the flute must be returned before such a move is made. During the award year, if for any reason the recipient becomes unable to play the awarded instrument for the remainder of the award year, or the recipient purchases a new flute before the end of the year, the flute must then be returned to the Tack Flute Foundation immediately. Since the above mentioned flutes are awarded on the basis of playing ability, potential, and need: Please attach a statement explaining why you think you should be a candidate for the use of one of the five Haynes flutes.
