or not an adjudicator will be rehired. These forms are now available online for each of our
festivals.
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 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.
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 office prior to sending out any notification to
schools.
2) Copies of any promotional material related to the camp
(fliers, 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.
