Bridgerland Competition

For Halloween the band traveled to Logan and competed at the Bridgerland Competition. They once again won all of the caption awards and took First Place.

HALLOWEEN

Rachael and her friends made their own Halloween Costumes this year. They went as a 70's Basketball team.

(I didn't tell then that I think they look like a Jane Fonda workout video)



They had a good time making them and wearing them to school.

I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS . . . . . .

Why do I need a bath? I only roll around in the dirt, lay on the grass, then jump in the creek, doesn't that count as a bath?

Mt Timpanogos Competition

October 24, The American Fork High School Marching Band and Color Guard competed at the Mt. Timpanogos Marching Bend Festival. They won all of the caption awards and again took First Place.

Davis Cup

The American Fork High School Marching Band and Color Guard competed at the Davis Cup held at Davis High School on October 20,2009. American Fork won all of the auxillary competitions and First Place in the Competition.

I want to thank Davis High School for the help they gave our band in getting buses and drivers to get all of our kids home after the tragic bus accident on October 10,2009. Davis the love that you have shown to our band was again evident last night as you stormed the field giving our band members hugs and roses. Thank you!

Odyssey Dance Theater presents "THRILLER"

Thanks you to 99.5 radio station, Richard won a set of two tickets, and I won a set of two tickets to see "THRILLER" put on by Odyssey Dance Theater. We really lucked out that both sets of tickets were for the same night. We had a family night out, dinner and a theater show. We all enjoyed watching the performance. Rachael can even get extra credit in Color Guard for it.
