OMEA District 14 Solo and Ensemble Results 2023

OMEA Solo & Ensemble Festival Participants, I’m proud of everyone who took the time and effort to take their music to the next level. Solo & Ensemble is one of the most challenging things we do, and in the end its all about personal growth. I hope you all grew musically and learned something through the process.

In particular, the mentorship I have the privilege to witness every year as our older students coaching younger students is always heartwarming. Also, the initiative of students to run their own ensembles at a very high level is also very commendable.

I will have adjudicator feedback forms & scores for students on Monday.

I’m only posting OSAA Solo & Ensemble State Contest Qualifying results. If you are a District Champion, you automatically qualify to go to the State Contest. If you are an Alternate, you qualify to go to state but will only be scheduled if there is space available.

I will explain in further detail what all of this means in class on Monday.

Congrats to everyone who had the courage to participate, I’m very proud of you all!!!
