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:
