The IP Rondalla performs throughout the year and conducts additional rehearsals to prepare for performances.  Rondalla alumni are encouraged to participate in IP rondalla performances, as they are important leaders and models for the younger players, and practicing and performing together strengthens the inter-generational bonds within the group.
