Meet the Band Night & Dinner, August 22 [Rescheduled]

Weather icon from NOAA

Due to weather, Meet the Band Night has been reschedule to Thursday, August 22 outside the instrumental music room at Easton Area High School.

IMA is providing a free dinner for family and friends. This night serves as a preview performance to showcase what our marching band students have been working on throughout band camp.

Volunteers and donations needed

Obviously, feeding 300 students and their families is no small undertaking, but we’re very excited to host everyone and showcase our hard-working students. We still are in need of volunteers to help prepare, grill, and serve the food, as well as donations for specific items. If you’re able to contribute, please indicate what you’re able to provide using this Sign Up Genius.

DRIVE 4 UR SCHOOL, Car Wash Sunday

Do you like raising money for our instrumental music students?
Do you like that “new car smell?”

Drive For Your School flyer preview

Test drive a brand new car from Koch 33 Ford at the high school and raise $20 ($15 for the IMA general fund; $5 for named instrumental students)! Let’s help the IMA reach its goal of raising $6,000 while enjoying the feel of a brand new car.

We’ll also be holding a free car wash at the same time (donations are appreciated). Drop off your car for a wash and test drive a new set of wheels.

Tell your friends. Tell your family.

Some details:

  • Sunday, August 18 from 9am-2pm
  • Easton Area High School in the lower lot near the baseball field
  • Preregister for your drive or register on-site
  • Only one driver per household
  • No one will try pushing you to buy a car. It’s illegal to do so on a Sunday in Pennsylvania.

Thanks to Koch 33 Ford for once again bringing the DRIVE 4 UR SCHOOL program to the IMA!

Band Camp is Here!

Band camp begins Monday, August 5 for new band members, drum line, and guard. All band members report for band camp on Tuesday. It’s going to be a exciting three weeks!

Donations still are needed to ensure our students have plenty of hydration and snacks both for band camp and for the football season.

We still need:

  • At least one more person to help grill at the cookout on August 22.
  • Desserts for our dinners. Please be sure they’re nut free.
  • Bottled water for both band camp and afterward for football games and competitions.

Please sign up for a donation slot.

And, to those who already signed up to help, or who have made donations, THANK YOU!!!
