Scheduled to Perform

Surprise Pops
Thursday, April 9
Thirty-five years ago, a handful of musicians gathered in Clancy Wolf’s garage to enjoy themselves making band music. It was recreation, fun and fellowship. Today the band has grown to about 100 members and plays free concerts to thousands of West Valley audiences every season. The band still keeps the tradition of not charging for a concert. However, they do ask the audience to bring a nonperishable food donation to the concert for the food bank Valley View Community Food Bank. As always, the band is directed by Clark Chaffee with narration by Ellie Chaffee.
