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.

Homestead Orchestra Festival
Orchestra Families, please be aware that our first Orchestra festival is just one week away! Both String and Chamber Orchestra will be participating in the Homestead Orchestra Festival on Saturday February 12th. Students need to arrive at Clovis West at 8:00am 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 on the festival will be communicated to families within the next week.
