Will plays the Euphonium (Bass Clef), aka, the baritone. He is in the Junior High Symphonic Band.
Last week, American Fork High School hosted the annual Band Bash. This is an event where ALL of the bands from the high school and the junior high put on a concert in the gym of the high school. Literally hundreds upon hundreds of band students fill the floor of the gym, while over a thousand spectators watch from the bleachers. Every year this extravaganza starts with the beginning jr. high band and works its way up the experience ladder to end with a stunning performance from the reigning, undefeated state champion marching band.
The band program is the pride and joy of the high school and a lot of funding has gone into it. It seems very incongruous, therefore, to see this amazing band crowded in and performing in the school's run down gymnasium!
Still, a fun night of performances. Afterward, it took literally FOREVER to find Will again, because, of course, we forgot to designate a meeting spot. Doh!
Ah well. We all found each other in the end, and it was a very mild night, so all's well that ends well.
