June 2023 - New Palestine Music & Performing Arts

Welcome to June

Congratulations on yet another busy but wonderful May! We celebrated with awards for the students (and band director), we cheered on for the Junior High and High school for the Spring concert, went to a guard clinic, and said some goodbyes to the graduating members of the program. In addition to all of that we got to see Kelly get pied, and went playing in the rain at Holiday World.


Our program also completed a remarkable fundraiser breaking record sales at the IMS gift shop. Thank you to all the volunteers for helping make this fundraiser a success.



This week we begin preparations for our Marching Band season with our June camp. We are excited to see out returning members and look forward to meeting our new members and their families. Remind your kids to wear supportive shoes and drink lots of water.
