The 22nd Annual Imperial Valley Music Educators Association Halftime Festival is coming up.

On Tuesday , November 5, 2019 , bands the  Holtville Viking Band, Brawley Wildcat Band , Calexico Bulldog Band , Imperial Tiger Band , Southwest Eagle Band and the Central Spartan Band will strut their stuff at Cal Jones Field on the campus of Central Union High School. According to the IVMEA , the purpose of the festival is to provide every Imperial Valley high school band with an opportunity to perform their halftime show and to watch and see what other schools are doing for their shows. It is not a competition.  Booster organizations from every school are invited to fund raise during the festival. 

The Halftime Festival starts at 6:00 p.m. and tickets are available from each school band for $5.00. Proceeds go directly to the bands.
