Band Camp

The American Fork High School Marching Band and Color Guard gets away for four days every year to work on their field show.

The guard is big enough that they get a whole bus to themselves.

And off they go . . . .

  They go to the Intermountain Power Plant near Delta.  There is nothing there, cell service doesn't work well, there is no internet.  The kids eat, practice, eat, practice, eat, practice, and go to bed, get up in the morning and it starts all over again.  It is hot there, no tv, no distractions, only band.  The group makes great progress on their show and they come home as a "unit". 

I took a day off of work and went there to help, watch, take pictures, and enjoy the camaraderie.

  The friendship developed there are not only among the Band Mom's and Dad's who give of their time to help the kids.

Here's to hoping that next year that Richard and I are spending the whole 4 days at Band Camp with 250 high school kids.
