Homestead Orchestra Festival 

Orchestra Families, please be aware that our first Orchestra festival is just a few short weeks away! Both String and Chamber Orchestra will be participating in the Homestead Orchestra Festival on Saturday February 12th. Students will be departing Clovis West at 8:20am and will be returning to Clovis West that night at 10pm. Students should plan to bring a sack lunch to eat at the festival, along with some spending money to purchase meals on the way back to Clovis West. If you are interested in volunteering your time to help out on our first trip of the year, please feel free to contact Mr. Humphreys at Kylehumphreys@cusd.com. Detailed itineraries and information on the festival will be communicated to families within the next week.

CG - Thursday 1/27 (Tonight!) Parent Preview

Color Guard Parents and friends, our guard will host an open rehearsal style preview the night of Thursday, January 27th (tonight!) at the Kasner gym. Come check out our guard’s show before their first competition this Saturday.

Jazz Concert 1/31 is Cancelled

Due to concerns stemming from absences that have affected both the Kastner band and Clovis West band, we will not be holding our winter Jazz concert at the PAC on monday 1/31. We will explore some other options for performance prior to our festival performances at the end of the month. All members of the CW jazz band should plan for a normal rehearsal on Monday.
