3. OMEA's All-State honor groups are exclusively for the students of current members of MENC. Membership must be verified before a student will be accepted. Applications may only be submitted by the student's actual director, not private teacher or other district personnel.
   
   
4. Wind/percussion students wishing to be considered for the All-State Orchestra should state on their tape "I wish to be considered for the All-State Orchestra." Wind students applying for consideration for either band or orchestra are required to submit only one tape and fee.
   
   
5. Students may audition for more than one group, but they may participate in only one group. Students auditioning for more than one group (except for winds applying for band or orchestra) or on more than one instrument must include a separate tape and fee for each. Applications must clearly indicate that more than one application is being submitted and show the student's preference.
   
   
6. Students must represent the actual school they attend (ninth graders in junior high cannot apply through the local high school music teacher).
