Registering Your Program or School

School registration is the first step to participation in any of the KMEA events and should take priority. Failure to have the school registration complete could keep your students from participating in the events.

Please complete the School Registration Form/Invoice, selecting the proper level (high school, middle school, elementary), and send the proper Registration Fee to KMEA. The forms are designed to generate a PDF invoice that you send with payment to KMEA.

All the necessary forms and publications that you will need for participation in KMEA events will be in the KMEA Information Center. All-State audition forms are located in the appropriate Division but your school registration must be complete before you will be granted access to the audition materials.

Completion of School Registration and current KMEA-NAfME Membership is a prerequisite for students that attend that school to participate in KMEA Events. KMBC applications and all-state auditions will not be certified until these two items are complete.
