IHSMA Spring Bulletin - The Iowa High School Music Association

PERMISSION TO ARRANGE/OUT-OF-PRINT FORMS
Permission to arrange selections or to perform out-of-print music can be found online by searching
the appropriate publisher’s website. Generic forms can be found on the IHSMA website: www.
ihsma.org. These may be duplicated in any quantity desired.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
The IHSMA Offi ce will make its best attempt to re-schedule festival programs that fall victim to
inclement weather. It must be realized, however, that school calendars could create a situation
in which cancellation is the only alternative. If a site operates, it becomes the responsibility of the
registered school to be in attendance. No make-up festivals will be arranged, nor will entry fees
be refunded, for those schools that elect not to attend. Festival managers are directed to initially
postpone the festival program for an hour or so before canceling entirely on a particular date.

ALL-STATE MUSIC CAMP GUIDELINES
Any person/agency/institution hosting an All-State Music Camp within
the State of Iowa must comply with the following criteria, which have
been developed to insure a consistent, equal opportunity for camp
operators/sponsors and participating students:
1) Any All-State Music Camp desiring to function within the state
of Iowa must obtain the annual written approval of the IHSMA
offi ce prior to sending out any notifi cation to schools.
2) Copies of any promotional material related to the camp (fl iers,
brochures, letters, etc.) must accompany the camps written
request for approval.
3) No All-State Music camp may begin operations prior to August 1.
4) Camps are encouraged to rehearse only with the supplied
materials; i.e., pronunciations, rehearsal directions, etc., provided
with the music/Association bulletin. Telephone calls should not
be directed to the All-State Chair, All-State Conductor or the
Executive Director of the IHSMA.
5) Camp fees cannot include the purchase of the employed music.
Obtaining the All-State music remains the responsibility of the
member school.
