1st place at Bands of American in Las Vegas

Our daughter Casey is a member of the American Fork Marching band. This last weekend we were able to go watch them compete in St George, where they took 1st place! The next day, they were off to Vegas to compete against the very best bands from California, Arizona, and Nevada. There was even one from Oklahoma! They strutted their stuff, and took 1st for the preliminaries. The top ten bands got to compete against each other that evening. Oh the other bands tried, I'll give them that, but we still took 1st in the finals. That makes them the best band west of the Mississippi, and #3 in the nation. Now they'll be off to Indianapolis in a few weeks to compete in the national competition. We were so excited to be a part of her great day. Casey is the trombone section leader this year. She also had a solo in the show. We are so proud of her.
