Spring Bulletin No. 220 - January 2002 - The Iowa High School ...

“CONFIDENTIAL REMARKS TO THE DIRECTOR”
Adjudicators are provided with “Confidential Remarks to the Director” forms. Frequently
situations present themselves which require some type of confidential reporting to the
director. The adjudication form is basically for student perusal and these remarks do not
belong on that form.
ADJUDICATOR EVALUATION FORMS
Careful, considerate, accurate completion of the Adjudicator Evaluation Forms is urged by
the IHSMA Office. These evaluations are compiled for office records and returned, anonymously,
to the involved adjudicators. Evaluations aid this office in determining whether or
not an adjudicator will be rehired.
PERMISSION TO ARRANGE/OUT-OF-PRINT FORMS
Forms supplied by the national copyright office for use in obtaining permission to arrange
selections or to perform out-of-print music were mailed to every member school along
with this bulletin. These may be duplicated in any quantity desired or will be supplied by
the IHSMA Office. They are color-coded for efficient handling by music publishers. It is
advised that any duplication utilize the same colors.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
The IHSMA Office 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.
POLICY REGARDING STUDENT PERFORMANCES WHEN THEY ARE NOT DI-
RECTLY REPRESENTING A MEMBER SCHOOL
Participation of students in musical organizations other than the ensembles of a
member school, be the participation with or without pay, is not covered by the eligibility
rules of this Association except in the case of competitive events. Such participation
is the responsibility of the local school administrators in these matters.
ALL STATE LOST AND FOUND
There are several personal items returned from the All-State Festival. These items may be
claimed by calling (515) 432-2013, and providing identification. After March 1, 2002,
remaining items will be donated to the Salvation Army.
ALL-STATE MUSIC CAMP GUIDELINES

equal opportunity for camp operators/sponsors and participating students.
