Golden State Tournament of Bands Volunteers Needed 

Volunteers are needed for this year’s Golden State Tournament of Bands. This competition is hosted jointly by Clovis Unified Instrumental Music and we need to do our part to make it a success. As an added bonus, we do receive a portion of financial proceeds from the event, which help with our overall program operational costs. Orchestra parents and students - we need your assistance here as most of the marching band students and parents are already participating in the performance aspects of the competition. Students - you can earn your citizenship hours by volunteering for a student spot. Please consider volunteering for a position by signing up via CHARMS with this link:https://www.charmsoffice.com/charms/volunteerR.asp?s=clovwhsb&v=5446153
