Ensembles are varied in both voicing and numbers. Ensembles can be in an SATB, SSA, or TTB format, and range from 3-12 performers. Ensembles must also select from the required repertoire list. Because of their more complex nature, interested ensemble members should arrange a brief meeting with Mr. Stasko prior to signing up. Once approved, interested ensembles should only have one member sign up, and include the names of other members on the form. 

Rules & Expectations

The following list highlights just a few of the various rules and requirements set forth by OMEA for the Solo & Ensemble event. These MUST be adhered to, or you risk the withholding of your final score, comments, or disqualification from the event. Please see the link for the full list of rules below. 
  • All vocal performances must be performed from memory.
  • Audio or video recording of any performance is strictly prohibited.
  • Foreign language pieces must be performed in their written language.
OMEA Rules & Regulations
In addition to these requirements, I have my own list of requirements for participation, and terms of agreement to participate.
  • Please only sign up if you are seriously interested in performing, and willing to dedicate the appropriate amount of practice and effort into your performance. 
  • Students are expected to practice regularly on their own. All songs must be learned by the first rehearsal. 
  • You may request a song from the required repertoire list. However, final choice of song and class are up to Mr. Stasko.
  • You MUST schedule at least 2 rehearsals outside of class time prior to the event. Once signed up, a rehearsal schedule will be shared with you via Google Docs. 
  • Starting in 2016, all students will be required to pay for their solo registration fee. The solo registration fee is $18, and must be paid by Friday, December 15th if you wish to participate. Ensemble fees are $23, and will be negotiated with each ensemble prior to registration.
  • Registration fees can be paid via cash, or check made to "Jackson Choir Boosters." 
  • As the director, I reserve the right to cancel your event if you show inadequate effort or preparation. This can happen before you’ve even been registered, or the day before the event. If I cancel your event past the registration deadline, you will not be reimbursed your registration fee, as it will already be paid towards OMEA. This is non-negotiable, and by signing up for this event, you agree to these terms.
