IHSTF All-State Orchestra Application

Due Friday, May 16, 2025 @ 11:59pm
Dear Auditionee,

Thank you for your interest in the 2026 All-State Production of Newsies. We are thrilled that you will be sharing your talents with us and look forward to hearing you!

Once this form is submitted, you must make your $20 payment before we can schedule you for an audition. We will send you a window of time that you will need to be present for your audition, but this can only be done once the fee has been paid and application submitted with all required forms.

Before filling out the application, please take a moment to review its contents. You will notice that you are required to upload all necessary forms into the application, so be sure you have all of the information and pdf copies of signed, filled out forms to upload.

If you need to close this application and continue it later before hitting SUBMIT, make sure you hit SAVE or you will lose all your work and have to start over again.
We look forward to seeing you at auditions!

Sincerely,
Michelle Bayer and Christina Ordonez
