Once you receive an email from the Binghamton Philharmonic telling you that you have been sent a contract for services:

1. Please read that email; it will have information you need for the upcoming performance and/or season.  
    
2. After you have read the email, scroll down to the end of the email message where you will see the contract link underlined and highlighted in blue. 
    
3. Clicking on the blue, underlined link will take you to the Artistry of Music/Ensemble Manager sign in page.
    
4. You will need to reset your password before you can proceed. You will only need to do this step the first time you log into the system. There is a button in the middle of the sign-in screen that says “forgot my password.”  Click that button and follow the instructions. A new password will be sent to your email address (the same email from which you received the contract notification). Once you enter your new password and log in, you will be looking at your contract. 
   
   If, for some reason, you are not seeing your contract, click on “welcome <your name>” in the upper left of your screen, select “contracts,” then use the pull down menu in the middle of the screen to select “unsigned contracts.”
    
5. Please read your contract carefully. At the bottom of your contract there is a spot, marked with a red asterisk, to select if your music will be electronically or physically sent to you. Select your preference by clicking on the appropriate circle. 
    
6. Please sign your contract.  Your contract will not be considered “completed” without your signature, even if you have completed any and all other fields.
   
   The software we are using has its own internal digital signature encryption, so you can sign your contract by simply typing your name on the signature line above your name. The date will be filled in automatically at the time of signature. 
    
7. Underneath the signature field is a complete schedule of all of our services. Beneath that is a list of the services that are being offered to you. Please click “accept” or “decline” next to each offered service to indicate your availability. If you must be absent from a rehearsal (at the discretion of management), please note these dates in the text field below the line, “If you will need to be excused from a rehearsal, please note any dates here.” 
    
8. After completing the above steps, click on the green button at the bottom left of the contract that says “Submit.” You will not be permitted to submit your contract until all the required fields have been completed. Required fields are marked with a red asterisk. 
    
9. You will receive a confirmation screen that says, “This contract has been successfully submitted.” 

To make sure no contract submissions are missed, the Production Office will digitally initial your contract after you have completed it. At that time, you will receive a confirmation email that your contract has been received. This email will contain a link underlined and highlighted in blue text to automatically download a PDF of your completed contract. Every time you click on this link, you will download another copy of your completed contract. 

The above directions are all that are required to submit your contract.
