Here's the QVMEA participation form.
Students may participate only after getting 3 signatures and of 
course signing their own!  (There is no audition!)
Please see Mr. Paradis for a printed copy.
Mr. Paradis will try to get as many students in the group as 
possible.
Please keep in mind that we cannot enter every student simply due to 
the lack of seats.
