If you've misplaced those forms needed for the Brazil tour, you can get copies here (in Adobe pdf format):
Start with the tour packet letter that tells all that you need to do.
The first important matter is the application for a Brazilian visa. We've summarized the application instructions and requirements for your convenience. The application form itself is available online, but you can get it here with some key information already entered on page two. Please note: students should list themselves as "student" (in block 14), with their school name (block 15), address (block 17), and phone (block 18) as appropriate.
If your student is under 18 years old, you will also need to send a notarized original copy of this permission form and a photocopy of the birth certificate. And you will need to include a copy of the international travel plan (i.e., itinerary). (However, disregard anything about a sponsor letter. Please do not mention AYS performances in your visa application, because we are traveling under tourist visas.)
Mailing instructions are here, with more detail here. At this late time, it is critical that you complete these properly, so please call (480-5000) if you have any questions.
Additionally, there are three forms to send to AYSPA: the Permission to Travel form (also available in Word format), the Medical Release form, and the Instrument Information form. The Permission to Travel form and Medical Release forms must be signed and notarized, even for students who are 18 years old. The instrument information form does not need to be notarized.
