SJVCGPR Volunteers Needed
Clovis West Instrumental Music is co-hosting the SJVCGPR (San Joaquin Valley Color Guard and Percussion Review) competition on the evening of Friday, February 11 at Buchanan 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 4:45-7:15pm and 6:45p-9:00pm. Since the funds raised from hosting these events benefit the entire CW Instrumental Music program, we strongly encourage everyone to participate – band families, orchestra families, jazz families, and of course, percussion and color guard families.

San Joaquin Valley Jazz Festival
Jazz Students will be performing at the San Joaquin Valley Jazz Festival on Friday 2/25 at Buchanan High School. Students will be bussed over to the school, but will need to be picked up at 5pm at BHS. The Jazz Ensemble will perform at 4pm. Please come hear them if you are available. After their performance they will participate in a short 30 minute clinic, and then will be dismissed.
Color Guard Donations
For Color Guard students that have pledged to make a monthly donation, the first donation date was last Friday February 4th. Donations can be made by cash or check made out to CW Foundation/CWAIM can be delivered to the deposit box in the Band Room, or with PayPal or credit card at: https://cloviswest.cwaim.org/one-time-non-program
Homestead Orchestra Festival
Orchestra Families, please be aware that our first Orchestra festival is this Saturday (2/12). Both String and Chamber Orchestra will be participating in the Homestead Orchestra Festival on Saturday February 12th. Students need to be at Clovis West at 7:45am and are expected to be back at 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 have been emailed, passed out in class, and uploaded to Google Classroom.
