V. Trouble with emails bouncing back…if anyone has a current email for:

VI. Middle School events:

Solo and Ensemble - Parkrose (Randy McCray)....Ann offered to support him as needed.

Festival - David Douglas....they have it under control

Honor Band - Oregon Trail...Deanna McGlothin is on it for band....she will be supported by Reynolds since they did it last year (basically Danny Hunt will assist her as needed) As far as choir is concerned, there really isn't a middle school choir staff at Oregon Trail. So Molly Fazio and Lesley Bossert said they would make it happen and reach out to people as they need help.

Parkrose High School, 12003 Northeast Shaver Street

Registration Form

The OMEA District II Junior Division Choir Festival will be on Wednesday, March 3^rd at Parkrose High School, 12003 NE Shaver St., Portland, OR.

This event is an excellent opportunity for area middle schools and junior high ensembles to perform for evaluation and to grow from hearing a number of other groups perform. Please return your registration form with payment as soon as possible.

The event will include 2 judges providing written comments about your group’s performance and 1 judge will work with your group after its performance.

It is important that you give your students the opportunity to hear a few other groups but it is strongly suggested that you do not stay the entire day and that you stay with your choir at all times. You are responsible for the behavior of your students. Please remind them about appropriate audience behavior.

The registration fee for this event will be $100.00 per choir and we ask that only 1 choir per school enter. If there is room in our schedule, I will enter additional groups from your school on a “first-come first-served” basis.

Please make your checks payable to OMEA District II and enclose it with your registration form.

Registration is due Feb. 3^rd. Mail form and payment to:

Helen Deitz – fest. Chair
