Clovis High band, police to join base for deployment exercise

The Clovis High School band and Clovis Police Department will assist Cannon Air Force Base in an exercise scheduled for Saturday that is designed to help school children at Cannon cope with deployments of parents, which often mean long absence from home.

The exercise is called Operation KIDS, and it simulates a deployment situation experience for children ages 5-13.

According to a flyer for the event, the” rules of engagement” include having fun, making new friends, and learning about the deployment experience.

The event will be held from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Cannon Fitness Center.
