Mt. Timpanogos Competition

Saturday, October 24, 2015

This was M&M's last local competition before the St. George trip and state competition. DH and I were both able to help at this one. This was DH's first and last time chaperoning for M&M's marching band - he usually stayed home to watch the younger kids while I chaperoned. Now that the kids are getting older though, we are able to leave them to watch each other which is nice!

This is one of the competitions that I have always chaperoned for. It is nice because it is fairly close and doesn't take up the whole day! Luke's band didn't compete at this competition because another band was doing the same show and they apparently had picked the show first so that excluded Luke's band from competing.

The lighting was horrible for trying to take pictures on the sidelines with my little point and shoot camera, so none of them turned out. This is one competition where they take a group picture afterwards. So here is my best attempt at the group shot:

M&M is on the back row - far right person

M&M as the band president got to stand in front of the band and call them to attention during the awards ceremony - since the drum majors were all on the field for the awards. If I remember correctly, M&M's band did not place at all at this competition. They ended up in 4th by just a fraction of a point...
