SJVCGPR Volunteers Needed

Clovis West Instrumental Music is co-hosting the SJVCGPR (San Joaquin Valley Color Guard and Percussion Review) competition on Saturday, January 29th at Clovis East High School.  As a co-host we provide volunteers to help the event run smoothly and for this we share in the profits. This is a very profitable fundraiser for our instrumental music program.

This year, we are responsible for staffing the Percussion Gym (where all of the percussion groups perform in competition). Adult and student volunteers are needed. No skills are required. And this is a great way for you to get involved and meet some new people while experiencing another area of our instrumental music program that you might not be familiar with. And every volunteer receives a free entrance pass to check out the performances.

Volunteer opportunities include ticket and merchandise sales, staffing entrance and exit doors, and assisting with spectator traffic flow. Shifts are from 1pm-3:15pm and 2:45p-5:00p. We strongly encourage everyone to participate – band families, orchestra families, jazz families, and of course, percussion and color guard families.
