Westside Ribbon Festival

6th Annual Westside Ribbon Festival

February 1-2, 2025

Description: The Westside OMTA Ribbon Festival is a delightful performance opportunity for music students in a relaxed and festive atmosphere. It is a non-competitive and non-adjudicated event. Students will receive a colorful ribbon for each category in which they participate.

All instrumental and voice students are welcome, and repertoire selections are at the discretion of the teacher and student. If sheet music is needed for performance, use original books or purchased digital sheet music. No photocopies are allowed unless needed for page-turns.

Categories:

1) Solo: These may be any genre – Classical, pop, musicals, movie tracks; anything you like to play!

2) Artwork: Your creative ideas are encouraged with a musical theme, to be displayed at the Ribbon Festival (This could be a poster, a mobile, statue or other creation)

3) Ensemble: duets, trios, quartets. This is your opportunity to perform with a musical peer or an adult such as a teacher or a parent.

Fees: Participation fees are $15 each for students of OMTA members and $20 each for guests. Student participation fees are to be paid to the teacher, who will send one check for all their students.

Registration: Registration will be handled through Leggiero.  Teachers, please notice special Ribbon Festival Registration Instructions to make use of Leggiero for this unique festival.   If you need to create your OMTA Leggiero account, follow this guide.

Due Date: The due date is January 18, 2025. After that date your registration and repertoire choices are final. Special instructions have been or will be emailed to Hillsboro Area OMTA members. If you have a colleague who is a non-member, they are most welcome and you will need to register on their behalf in Leggiero.
