Richard - the BAND DAD!

Richard is a member of "THE FRATERNAL ORDER OF BAND DADS" with the AMERICAN FORK HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BAND and COLOR GUARD Chapter.    So he gets to help the Marching Band by loadiing the trailer every week, then unloading it anthe competition, helping to get all of the pit equipment and back drops onto the field, then getting it all back off the field, reloading it onto the trailer, then unloading it back at the high school.  To then do it all again for the next competition.  The Band Dad's perform in a great service to help make the Field show a success.  One of the things they get to do is perform at the Family Show.  They put together their own rendition of something related to the show.  

Here is their performance this year.

"AF BAND DAD's ROCK!"


Hey, do you notice any similarities to something that happens in the real show?


Did you catch in the video, that Richard threw a rubber chicken into the sky and they all shot at it?













The Band Dad's are a GREAT group of men, and Richard is having lots of fun being a part of the group.
