Solo and Ensemble is an Ohio Music Educators Association adjudicated event that allows high and junior high school students the opportunity to showcase their musical talents in a small-group or solo setting. The performers travel to a host site and perform their solo or group song for a single judge and a small audience. The judge then gives a rating on the performance, based on OMEA music evaluation standards. Ratings range from (Best) I - II - III - IV - V (Worst)
