The Dragon Blast
JUNE 2022 - New Palestine Music & Performing Arts
The month of May was a busy one for our programs! We showered our students with awards, cheered as our Junior High and High School bands performed together at their Spring Concert, and sent our graduating members off to the next chapter. We also had some entertainment with a Dinosaur Conductor and watching Mr. Carney get pied for another year.
Our program also completed an amazing fundraiser with near-record sales at the IMS gift shop. Thank you to all of our student and parent volunteers for helping us to make this fundraiser a success.
This week we begin preparing for our Marching Band season with our June camp. We are excited to see our returning members and look forward to meeting our new members and their families. Remind your kids to wear supportive shoes and to drink lots of water! The next few weeks are supposed to be the warmest weather we've seen in 10 years!

2022-23 Band Booster Board
Fundraising Coordinator: Dee Dellacca
Sponsorship Coordinator: David Hatcher
Student Account Coordinator: Brandie Doolittle
Community Liaison/Online Coordinator: Amber Cooper
Concessions Coordinator: open
We are needing a Concessions Coordinator for the upcoming school year. This individual will have lots of support. The intention of this role is not to be a gladiator volunteer, but to rather coordinate the operations of the concessions. With football/fall concessions on the horizon, this seat will play a vital role.
If you are interested, please reach out to Kathy and/or Lindsey.

It's been a long time coming, but we finally achieved the ability to accept Credit Cards for Student Account payments. (We even have Apple Pay capabilities!)
If you would like to see your current statement and arrange for a link to pay by credit card - please email the Student Accounts Coordinator HERE.
If you are unable to meet your commitments to the program, please reach out to Mr. Carney to discuss other options.
Thank you for doing all you can to keep our program strong!
