The WHS Instrumental Music Boosters (WHSIMB) is thrilled to offer this comprehensive music program to every student, regardless of the family’s contribution. No student will be denied the opportunity to participate due to costs. WHSIMB incurs the expenses of assistant instructors, instruments, music, equipment rental, classroom daily needs, and other expenses not covered by CVUSD. We must rely on donations from devoted parents/boosters who share our vision to cover these expenses. Your direct donation directly benefits our students and makes all the exciting experiences in the WHS Instrumental Music Program possible.
