Purchase Your ‘Sounds of the Season’ Tickets Now!

The annual Clovis West ‘Sounds of the Season’ concert is this Saturday December 10, 2022 at 7:00PM at the Paul Shaghoian Concert Hall. Tickets are available for purchase at http://cloviswest.cwaim.org/store. This festive tradition is one of the biggest events of the year for CW Instrumental Music and will feature performances by the CW Bands, Orchestra, & Percussion Ensemble. Tickets are expected to sell out, so don’t wait! Purchase yours today! 

Online Ticket Sales will close at 12:00PM (Noon) on Saturday December 10th. This will ensure that we have time to prepare tickets and seating assignments before the concert starts at 7:00pm. Tickets will still be available to purchase at the door, though the supply will be limited. 

If you've already purchased your tickets, you're all set! When you arrive at the concert hall, simply give your name (or the name of the person that purchased the tickets) to the staff at the will-call table. They will hand you your tickets and show you to your seats. You do not need to pick up tickets from the bandroom prior to the event, nor will your tickets be sent out via mail/email.  



‘Sounds of the Season’ Auction Items

Please save the date for our annual Sounds of the Season concert on Saturday, December 10. We will be soliciting donations of items and desserts for the silent auction. If you'd like to help, please “volunteer” to bring items here: https://www.charmsoffice.com/charms/volunteerR.asp?s=clovwhsb&v=5657638  (If needed, the school code is “CWAIM”, then click the “Volunteers” menu). Donated items can be dropped off at the PAC from 12:00-2:00pm on the day of the concert.  If you have any questions about auction items, please contact Jennifer McDougal at jenmcdougal@sbcglobal.net.


General Parent Meeting - Wednesday 1/11 at 7pm

We would like to invite all of you to a general parent meeting where we can update parents on the work that has been done through the fall semester in committees and how you can get involved this semester as we move into winter and spring. Please join us, especially if you are looking for ways you could help support your students through the course of the year.
