Graduation Information 6/2/2022
Wind Symphony, Symphonic Band, & Concert Band: We will be performing at the Clovis West Graduation Ceremony on Thursday night, June 2nd at Veteran's Memorial Stadium. All students will report to the CW Bandroom @ 4:30pm. Please eat before you arrive. We will have a short rehearsal at Clovis West before we take school buses over to Veteran's Memorial Stadium/Buchanan. It looks as though it will be fairly warm that day, so please drink plenty of water before you arrive and wear sunscreen - the event is outdoors! A snack and water will be provided at graduation.
Students with family members graduating: If you have an immediate family member graduating this year, you may be excused from performing with the band so that you may sit with your family. An ‘Excused Absence Form’ must be submitted ASAP if you have not done so already. All other 9th-11th grade students in Concert Band, Symphonic Winds, and Wind Symphony are required to attend.
Dress/Attire: VERY Nice. Guys should wear slacks, dress shirt, and a tie. Ladies: A spring dress or dress pant outfit is appropriate (please make sure dresses are long enough!). No Shorts. No Jeans. No Tennis Shoes or Flip Flops. You MUST be in Dress Code!
Return Time back to CW:
We will return to CW between 9:30pm & 10:00pm, depending on the length of the graduation ceremony. All students must ride the bus back to CW unless their parent/guardian meets the band at Eagle 2 immediately following the graduation ceremony and checks their student out with the head chaperone.
We are also in need of 3-4 chaperones for this event. If you are interested in assisting please sign up here.
Disneyland Trip - Chaperones
On Wednesday June 1 at 7:00pm, we will hold a meeting in the CW Band Room for all chaperones attending the Disneyland Trip. Anyone still interested in being a chaperone, please contact Mr. Chesi ASAP: BryanChesi@clovisusd.k12.ca.us
