What kind of tour? What are you past experiences? What are you doing in the fall? Do expect to get paid?

My personal opinion, go work for shop work. You will be lucky to pull a touring gig right now straight out of HS unless you are well connected. The competition is pretty tight for even summer stock this summer, so keep that in mind.

What he said!

You also might try to get on as casual crew at a road house. Thats a great way to make contacts with touring companies (if you're good at what you do).
