<strong>IHSMA</strong> Festivals Defi ned<br />
In January of 2006, the Executive Committee of the <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>Music</strong> <strong>Association</strong><br />
adopted a policy that states, “With the exception of the All-State <strong>Music</strong> Festival, <strong>IHSMA</strong><br />
Festivals are assessments of individual or group achievement whereby every participant<br />
has the opportunity to achieve the highest rating.”<br />
