Grand Nats!

Only a marching band person would know what the title of this post is all about.  This weekend Samantha got to go with the American Fork High School Marching Band to compete in the Bands of America Grand National Competition in Indianapolis, Indiana.  They were one of 6 six bands west of the Mississippi to compete with 85 other bands from the rest of the country.  They were stupendous.  They made it to semi finals where they were one of the top 22 bands at the competition.  They didn't make finals, but these high school kids were amazing.  So many hours of work at music and drills.  We are so proud of all of them, but mostly Sam.  She fought against a lot of stuff to just get to the destination and then to be section leader and a piccolo player was the icing on the cake.  We're so thankful for this opportunity she had.  What a fantastic experience.
