Frequently Asked Questions

If there is no "appropriate performance ensemble" class available at the school for the instrument/voice of a particular musician, e.g. no orchestra offered for a string player, may that student musician participate at the OMEA District or OSAA State Solo Contest representing the school?

Yes, if the application to participate is signed by a member of the music staff or the principal of the school the student wishes to represent.

Must a home school student be enrolled in the "appropriate performance ensemble" at their resident public school to be eligible for competition?

If a student musician is not enrolled in the “appropriate performance ensemble” class available at the full member school they wish to represent, may that student musician participate at the OMEA district or OSAA Solo Music State Championships representing that school?

Yes, provided they meet all other OSAA eligibility requirements. There is no music class requirement for Solo Music participation.
