Mt Timpanogos Marching Band Competition

The American Fork High School Marching Band is the sponsor of the Mt Timpanogos Marching Band Competition held at Mountain View High School in Orem. It is quite an endevor to make everything come together for the competition. We loaded the semi early Saturday morning and headed over to help get things up and going. We put up tent awnings, and marked fields and hoped that it wouldn't rain. But that hope wasn't to be, the rain started about the time the first band took the practice field, the rain came and came and came, the temperature dropped and dropped and dropped.

The weather didn't get any better all day, it was cold and wet, the volunteer room ran out of hot chocolate. We were really glad that we had some "hot hands" to help us stay warm.

The band again did a GREAT job performing in the rain.



The band again received FIRST PLACE in the 5A category.

After the awards were over, the band again takes the field and does an encore performance, because of the cold, the Color Guard girls wore their warmup suits.

The kids then got to load up and head back to the school, while we got to do cleanup. Picking up trash in the stadium, putting away tent awnings, loading up all of our band equipment. It was a really long and tiring day. But as the commercial says "PRICELESS"
