Our Policies
OCMEA All-County Festival Snow Policy
​Plan A – Full festival – no problems
Plan B – Some schools cancel classes on Friday
If there are enough schools in session, rehearsals will be held on Friday.
Seating auditions will be canceled and the proficiency lists will be used to determine seating. (Not the best situation – but one we hope all can live with.)
Those who were unable to attend Friday will be permitted to attend on Saturday if permitted by their school districts.
Plan C – Host school or many county schools close on Friday
No rehearsal on Friday
Rehearsals will be held on Saturday as planned with a few alterations:
Conductors will shorten their program
Concert will be moved to 5:00 PM to allow for one more hour of rehearsal
*Please watch Channels 3, 5, 9, or 10 to see which plan is in place for our county festival on a snow day.
DEI Statement
We believe that the phrase “on behalf of the students and music educators” means ALL of our students and educators, whatever race, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, ability, gender identity, religion and all other identities represented. In OCMEA, we value diversity and we believe equity is worth fighting for. We seek to cultivate an organization where all students and educators truly belong.
OCMEA is committed to, among other initiatives, actively including students and educators from all schools into our ensembles and ongoing work. We promote repertoire from a diverse group of composers, conductors, and other artists.OCMEA strives to make decisions which benefit all our students and educators, directly addressing the urgent needs of marginalized individuals who have been historically and systemically underserved.
