The Instrumental Music Parents Club (IMPC) is a non-profit organization that has played a significant role in the survival of the band and orchestra programs at Hanover High School since its origin. The IMPC was started in 1965 under the leadership of its first president, Marlin Rohrbaugh. The members of the club are parents and guardians of students currently involved in the band and orchestra programs at the high school. The club originated with about 220 members. Since then, the amount of participation has greatly decreased, however, the amount of support for the students has never faltered. To support the students, the IMPC provides a great deal of money. In order to raise these funds, the IMPC does a multitude of varying fundraisers. A great deal of money comes from working the concession stand at Sheppard and Myers Stadium. The members of the IMPC volunteer their time to work the concession stand at home sporting events selling anything from candy and gum to chicken fingers with fries. The IMPC also raises money through many yearly fundraisers, such as pie, candy, fruit, sub, and pizza sales. A portion of the profit from these fundraisers goes to the general IMPC and another portion of the profit from each students sales goes directly to that students’ account to be used for trips or other costly items. The students have direct benefit from the money raised by the IMPC. The IMPC provides the marching color guard with uniforms, flags, and equipment, as well as provides the drum major with a corresponding outfit. For each marching band member, the IMPC purchases a personalized jacket and a uniform T-shirt. The band and orchestra have taken many trips through the years to places such as, Cleveland, South Carolina, and Boston. The IMPC has provided the students with money to cut down on the price per student for each year’s trip. The IMPC has also been able to purchase computer equipment for the band room and instruments when needed. Annually, the IMPC also funds scholarships for graduating seniors, along with scholarships for underclassmen attending orchestra or band summer camps. The IMPC is an organization linked directly to the students, providing them with necessities and helping them to fund activities to better the music program. |
