Inaugural March 4 Music Fundraiser
Our inaugural March 4 Music Fundraiser was held this past Saturday at the Fort Washington Country Club. This event would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of the fundraising committee. Thank you to everyone who played a part in making this event as successful as it was. We look forward to recapping some of the details at the next general parent meeting this Wednesday evening at 7pm in the band room.
Next Monthly General Parent Meeting - Wednesday 3/8 @ 7pm
We would like to invite all interested parents to our next general parent meeting which will occur every second Wednesday of the month. The next one is on Wednesday 3/8/2023. We will hear from committees on reports of the goings on of the past month, look ahead at upcoming events and opportunities, and have general discussion about ways that we can support the students of the Clovis West Instrumental Music Program. Please join us Wednesday 3/8 at 7pm!
SJVCGPR Show #4 Volunteers Needed - Friday 3/17
We want to take a moment to thank all of the students and adults who have volunteered already this season. We can not do this without you, and your continued support is greatly appreciated.
Clovis West Instrumental Music is co-hosting the SJVCGPR (San Joaquin Valley Color Guard and Percussion Review) competition on Friday March 17 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 entire instrumental music program.
At this competition, we are in charge of staffing the gym during the percussion portion of the event. 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. Bonus - 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.

Chocolate Bar Fundraiser Still Active!

Disneyland Trip June 10
Registration has closed for our annual Disneyland trip on Saturday June 10th. If you signed up you should be receiving more information this week. We are working to take as many students as we possibly can, but can only plan on taking full busses. Please watch the email address you used when filling out the form for more information. A reminder, trip payments are not due until April 14th. This allows you/your student time to fundraise to build trip credit. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact a director.
