All-State Frequently Asked Questions

When and where will audition and application results be posted?

OMEA does not post the results of All-State auditions, directors are emailed via Opus.

How will teachers be notified about All-State audition and application results?

Teachers will receive an email at the address connected with their Opus account.

How come the teacher didn't receive an email from Opus with the All-State audition and application results?

Check your spam/junk folder for the email address attached to your OpusEvent.com user profile - the email from Opus is no-reply@opusevent.com.

How will I know if a student's registration is complete?

Teachers can log into audition.opusevent.com and view the registration and payment status of each student. If a student has "unpaid" next to their name, this means they have been accepted into an ensemble and need to complete payment for the event.

Can teachers/schools complete the entire process for the students/parents/guardians?

Yes, teachers can log into audition.opusevent.com and complete the registration and payment process.

Can parents/guardians complete the entire process for their student?

Yes, parents/guardians can visit Opus to go directly to their student's application and complete registration and payment via credit card.

Can parents/guardians complete just the registration process and schools complete payment?

Yes, parents/guardians can go to Opus to go directly to their students' application and complete registration and teachers/schools can log into Opus and pay for one or more students via credit card.

What do I do if my student needs to drop/decline their spot for All-State?

Email the OMEA Executive Director if a student is dropping out of an ensemble.

If a student is placed in two ensembles, they must choose one to participate in and you/the teacher must notify OMEA immediately to communicate which ensemble the student is declining.

There are many deserving students throughout Oregon who would love the opportunity to fill those spots, but they need time to complete registration and payment, too. Please don't wait until the registration deadline to decide this.
