1. Only Music Teachers should complete the nomination form AFTER CONFIRMING that the listed students are committed to participating in this event and have parental permission to do so.<\/div>\n
\n

2. Each teacher may nominate up to 8 students from their school. If a director works at more than one school (e.g., a Middle and a High School), they should submit separate forms for up to 8 students from each school’s band program.<\/p>\n

3. Please list students in order of musicianship, ability, and effort. For example, Student #1 should be your top nominee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

  • Student email<\/li>\n
  • Primary Instrument or Voice<\/li>\n
  • Musicianship (required): Distinctive accolades such as Solo & Ensemble performance awards or participation in other honor ensembles.<\/li>\n
  • Effort (required): OWU seeks to involve students with a positive attitude and work ethic.<\/li>\n
  • Unique Circumstances (optional): Sometimes life can be unfair especially when a child is faced with illness or tragedy. If you have a student in hardship whose participation in this festival would provide a life-changing opportunity, we’d like to help make this happen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    All nomination forms are confidential for OWU festival staff only.<\/p>\n

    Music teachers should verify in advance that all nominated students and their parents are interested and committed to participating in all music festival activities.<\/p>\n
