Our Music Program Society is known as the Ernest Manning Music Parent Society (EMMPA).

EMMPA is the fundraising arm of the music program. All parents/guardians with students in the music program are members of EMMPA. EMMPA play a key role in supporting the music program including coordinating concerts, tours, camps, and so much more. We have several fundraisers a year that contribute and support:

  • Music Camps
  • Winter and Spring Concert
  • Jazz Night
  • Annual tour
  • Clinicians and workshops
  • Music festivals

Some of our fundraisers include:

  • Purdy’s Chocolate
  • Springbank Cheese
  • Growing Smiles
  • FlipGive
  • Skip the Depot
  • Big Band Cabaret

EMMPA has one part-time staff member who coordinates the office, music activities, and fundraisers. We also have a board consisting of not fewer than 5 members. Board members have oversight of the society.

The Music Office is located at Room 1412. All EMMPA inquiries can be made through the office at emmpaassistant@gmail.com or 403-217-1254.
