Clarification on All State Notification

There seems to have been a glitch in the notification email that was sent out to you regarding your accepted students. Apparently the list of your students was sent to you with a NO or N/A and not being specific as to who was accepted. PLEASE check the OMEA home page to find the listing of your accepted students. The list on the OMEA website is the CURRENT LIST. Email me if you have questions. The music has arrived and the envelopes are being stuffed. Once I have been notified that all of your students have submited paperwork and payment, I will send you the music.

Be sure to have all paperwork and payments in to OMEA by November 20 at the latest. If not, your students will be removed from the list and an alternate will be selected. NO EXCEPTIONS.
