The IMA is excited to team up again with Pee Jay’s Fresh Fruit to offer two selling phases of our annual fruit sale. Questions about the fruit sale can be directed to Eileen and Kim at fruitsale@eahsmusic.org. All of your favorites are back again, including two “samplers” of outstanding fruit–these are perfect to bring as a gift to holiday parties!
Online orders (through Sunday, November 16)

We are excited to share with you that our marching band and orchestra have the opportunity to travel again during the 2025 – 2026 school year. Next year, our program will be traveling to New Orleans, Louisiana, where both our marching band & orchestra will have performance opportunities! This experience is a result of the hard work many have put in to provide us with this unique opportunity. Each of your children continues to excel in rehearsals and bring pride to the community in our performances. Thank you for supporting them.
The reasons why we travel with our ensembles are:
To provide educational opportunities to our students through performances/ adjudications
To bring recognition to our school district and music program
To build a sense of community between the members of our groups
When planning this trip, there are many different aspects we must consider, including:
School Schedule
Costs
Performance Schedules & Availability
All members of our marching band and high school orchestra (9-12) are invited to perform. The decision to take each group will be made independently based on the commitment forms that are returned. In order for each group to perform and learn as one, we need to field a representative group.
To reserve a space for you on the New Orleans tour, you must return the commitment form found at the end of the 2025-2026 New Orleans Kickoff Letter to the gray lockbox in room G214 with your $100 deposit by Friday, January 10, 2025.
The Easton Area High School Instrumental Music Association (IMA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that supports the students in the instrumental music program at Easton Area High School. The IMA consists of parents and guardians of students within our music program. It is a volunteer-run organization that supports both the financial and volunteer needs of the band and orchestra.
Corporate sponsorship of the IMA is integral to the financial well-being of our operating budget supporting the many opportunities afforded our students. The IMA supports over $80,000 in annual expenses, including annual scholarships, marching band operating expenses, uniform care, new instrument/ equipment purchases, maintenance costs, travel opportunities, and more.
As a corporate sponsor of the IMA, there are many benefits your organization would receive, in addition to supporting our students. We hope you consider supporting our wonderful music program. Our students work incredibly hard each year and we hope to be able to continue to support their needs through generous donations such as yours.
