Just three days after the American Fork High School Marching Band lost one of their teachers in a tragic bus accident the "Band Played On" by competing in the competition held at Lavelle Edwards Stadium on the campus of Brigham Young University.
I wanted to hear all of the band play so I arrived at the stadium just after it started at 4:00 pm. As each band took the field "in competition" my eyes filled with tears as they all paid tribute to the students of American Fork by wearing a red ribbon on their uniforms.
All of the news stations were there doing stories.
Here is the story . . . watch for someone you know.

The rain came and went during the night, even the heavens had to cry at times. As the American Fork High School Color Guard, Percussion Pit, and set up crew came on to the field the audience erupted in applause.
The applause got even louder as the audience stood when the band entered the stadium.
Then the main show began
What a great performance they had tonight. I am sure that Heather was very proud of the band at tonight's performance. I too was very proud not only of our band, but of all the bands and the support they have given to our band. We truly belong to a greater band family.
