Prairie Music Association is a non-profit Iowa corporation serving the music programs of the College Community School District in Linn and Johnson counties. PMA provides volunteer and financial support to both vocal and instrumental programs in grades K-12 throughout the district. No other music booster organization in the state supports all grades throughout an entire school district.

PMA provides support for a broad range of educational endeavors within the District's music programs. Our efforts equip students with uniforms, props, workshops, music lessons, instruments, music and varied performance opportunities.

We currently host one major educational event each fall. "Bands Across the Prairie" brings marching bands from throughout Iowa together for an opportunity to workshop performances in a way that is unique for large group performance.

Residents of the College Community School District are cordially invited to attend PMA meetings and, if interested, to place their name in nomination for the board. Elections take place in May for the following school year. Meeting dates and times are published annually on the District calendar and updated on this site during the school year as changes are required.

Comments and suggestions are welcomed and may be e-mailed to any board member at bap@prairiemusic.com.
