GSTOB Volunteers Needed! (Orchestra Students / Adults Wanted)
Please sign up to help at the upcoming Golden State Tournament of Bands. We have several areas of responsibility, including managing the traffic flow for the parking lots for school buses and band trucks/trailers and running the concession stand inside the stadium. This is extra help in addition to the normal show tasks of feeding the band and pushing the pit. Golden State Tournament of Bands is a large fundraiser for our program. Please take a look at the sign up and see where you can help. https://www.charmsoffice.com/charms/volunteerR.asp?s=clovwhsb&v=5587156
Charms Calendar Sync Issues

Marching Band Trip Forms are due Friday 10/21 (tomorrow)
Marching Band students received trip forms Monday in class. We need EVERY student to turn in a completed trip form so we can plan our travel details for the rest of the season. A reminder - trip money is not due until 11/4, but we must know now what we can expect to receive. Please make sure your student turns this information tomorrow at the latest.
10/21 MB Pictures and Central Game
Marching band students will be taking large/small group and individual photos during 7th period and immediately after school on Friday 10/21. Students will need to be able to be in full uniform for the photos, but we will use instrumental music shirts for the game. Color Guard students should plan to rehearse after photos on CW campus and will be dismissed at 9pm. Winds/Percussion will bus to and from central, and will dismiss when they return and eagle 1 has been loaded for Sierra Cup the following day.
