There will be an informational trip meeting on Monday, January 09 @ 7:00 p.m. in the EAHS instrumental music room. This will be combined with the January IMA meeting.

This meeting is not mandatory, HOWEVER, a lot of information will be shared regarding the trip planning, costs/ fundraising opportunities, timelines, itineraries, etc. For those who are not able to attend, there will be an email recap sent out later that week.

8th grade families will also be invited to join at this meeting. There will also be a separate 8th grade instrumental music meeting at the end of January.

What is indoor?

Indoor guard consists of baton, flag, rifle, & sabre spun to choreography inside. Typically, indoor consists of a lot of dance & body movement. It is a GREAT opportunity.

Here are some videos of high school indoor groups:
