Band

Cloverdale's students interested in music were blessed with Mr. Connelly for an instructor. "Mr. C" was not only the best in town but the best in the County and once was recognized as "Teacher of the Year" for California. At one point in his forty plus years at C.H.S. he took the musicians to Austria to compete on the International level. He had a gift that allowed him to get the best from his students.

Mr. C developed a lifelong love for music in dozens of students throughout his tenure. Each year about forty from the student body were band members. Most everyone enjoyed performances at schools, parades, Citrus Fairs, and a favorite of most, sporting events.

Nancy Foster Colter is our shining star from the Music Department. For over fifty years piano study has been a daily thing and is she polished! Larry Wolfe sings and plays violin - skills developed after high school.
