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
CUSD Band Night
Our 15th annual CUSD Band Night is Wednesday 11/3 at Veterans Memorial Stadium. All CUSD Intermediate and High School Band and Color Guard students will be featured at this performance. We will be feeding our CW and Kastner students at VMS Wednesday at 4:30pm. Students will then warm up and start the evening by performing together the Star Spangled Banner at 6:10pm. All intermediate school bands will then put on a combined performance at 6:25pm. The order of high school performances is as follows:
6:45pm Clovis North HS
7:05pm Buchanan HS
7:25pm Clovis East HS
7:45pm Clovis West HS
8:05pm Clovis HS
8:25pm (scheduled) end of event
CW students have the option to ride a bus from CW if they are unable to secure a ride to VMS. We will run one bus at 4pm, and any students planning on riding should be at the band room at that time. All students will be dismissed from VMS once the truck is loaded (approximately 9pm).
MB - Football Playoffs
As our football team completes its regular season, they will be participating in CIF playoffs. Our marching band will be expected to be at any playoff games that occur in town. Please keep the following dates on your calendar: 11/5, 11/12, 11/19, 11/26. As the season concludes, the playoff bracket will be set. Each game eliminates the losing team from the next round, so as an example, if our team were to lose the second game on 11/12, they would not play a game on 11/19. We sincerely hope that our team has the most successful postseason they possibly can, and will be there to support them along the way. Please plan for a football game performance at every one of the above dates.
MB - 11/12 Rehearsal
Marching band students should also be planning on rehearsing on Friday 11/12. The exact timeframe of this rehearsal is dependent on the result of the 11/5 playoff game, but we will plan on a mid afternoon or evening rehearsal. This is a day off from school, but it is a required rehearsal, and has been on our calendar since May. All students are expected to be in attendance.
