Endorsement Package from AGEHR This link is provided to allow you to fill out and post to AGEHR a number of forms to secure endorsement of your event. Two points should be made here: 1) AGEHR has offered the form only as a fill-and-print form. This precludes one from emailing the form unless the form is printed, and then scanned in as a separate document. This limitation can be circumvented by installing a pdf document generator (either paid or free) which will allow one to print and create an electronic copy of the forms. These can then be sent as attachments to AREA 2 and, as appropriate, to AGEHR. 2) The AGEHR packet contains information regarding insurance on your instruments. We recommend that you read our explanation on "Handbell Insurance" elsewhere on this page prior to filling out the AGEHR forms to understand exactly what limitations of coverage may exist.

Each individual/organization must apply their own 'due dillegence' to determine suitability of the information provided. AGEHR Insurance Coverage for Massed Ringing Events All bells that we take in loan for classroom use and repertoire readings are covered by a national AGEHR insurance policy. This means that if something goes awry in a classroom with a bell, and it can be proven that "we did it," the policy will cover the loss of ringing equipment. HOWEVER, this policy does NOT apply to sets of bells in the massed ringing arena. This is where each church, school, or individual must carry what is called "marine" insurance on these instruments. This term refers to the fact that you will be traveling with your bells and chimes, and they will not be housed in your school, church, or home. Finding "Marine" Insurance Coverage for Your Instruments A "Google" search on "musical instrument insurance" brings up many web resources, but as of 5/1/2010, the first four listings were: Clarion Associates, Inc. The Music Teachers National Association announced that Clarion Associates, Inc. will now provide music instrument insurance to all MTNA member for 40% off their usual premiums.
