Student itineraries have been emailed, posted on student Google Classrooms, and handed out in class.

SJVCGPR Volunteers Needed for Show #5 (Championship Finals)
Clovis West Instrumental Music is co-hosting the SJVCGPR (San Joaquin Valley Color Guard and Percussion Review) competition on the evening of Friday, April 1st at Clovis North 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. 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 band families, and of course, percussion and color guard families.
We will send out an email later this week with information for how to sign up for volunteering shifts.
