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. This Friday our band will be performing at the playoff game vs. Clovis East. We will be bussing all students over to Lamonica at 4:30pm, and will provide return transportation at the conclusion of the game. The outcome of this game and the Bullard vs. St. Joseph game will determine what happens on 11/12. You can view the bracket here: https://www.cifcs.org/sports/fball/fb_bracketd2_21_22.pdf
Please keep the following dates on your calendar: 11/12, 11/19, 11/26. As the season continues, the playoff bracket will cut in half each week. 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 can confirm we will not begin rehearsal until noon on Friday. In the event our team wins friday 11/5 we will have an earlier rehearsal, feed students, and then bus to the 11/12 football game. If our football team doesn’t win on 11/5 our rehearsal will occur later in the day. 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.
