OSAI Adjudication Procedures

All applicants, whether accepted, not accepted, or accepted as an alternate, will be notified by mail in early April, 2008.

Please keep in mind that OSAI is extremely competitive. This year, approximately 1,200 students will audition for about 275 spots. If you aren't accepted this year, please try again next year. Thank you for auditioning and good luck!

All auditions are judged on a statewide basis, not by audition location. Selection is made at the conclusion of statewide auditions, based on audition scores and application materials, NOT on audition location or applicants' hometowns. Whether a student chooses to audition in his or her own town or another location will have ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT on that student's chance of being accepted to OSAI.

Acting, ballet, and modern dance auditions are all "live" auditions, meaning applicants are scored at the audition. Choir, orchestra and drawing/painting auditions are blind, meaning adjudicators do not know the applicant's name, age, hometown, etc. Choir and orchestra auditions are videotaped and judged at a later date. Drawing/painting students are assigned a number at their audition, and adjudicators only know students by number, not by name.
