Marching Band.

The summer of 2007 is one to remember. I remember missing dance more then anything and just wishing I could do something. Then I got news that they were starting the very first marching band ever at Timpanogos High School. They came to me and asked me if I wanted to be a part of and help start the first Dance Guard. Of course I jumped on the band wagon!

Dance Guard was one of the strangest things I had ever done... but also a ton of fun. I remember learning how to twirl the flag and my favorite... the gun. It was awesome because I was learning a lot of things. There were only 4 of us and so it was pretty easy. We mostly danced and then used the props on the side. It was actually pretty hard because there were so many positions and we had to be in the exact right spot. It was a lot to remember but it was fun.

Our marching band was actually really good. We always took first in our competitions. We did compete in one A though because it was so small and was our first year as a marching band. It was cool to go to competitions and stuff. Above is a picture of one of our competitions... sorry it is so small... it is bad quality. But marching band was an adventure. My favorite memory is band camp... yes I went to band camp haha. We actually had it at an army base! We even got to stay in the barracks, which was awesome. I got into awesome shape because we ran all of the time!

Even though I get made fun of a lot for being in the band, I am so glad that I did it. I learned a lot. I learned about interacting with other people and I expanded my friend base by a lot. The people in the band were so nice! I also dated one of the drummers, Matt Wald. We held hands and cuddled a couple of times :) haha anyways, it was a lot of fun! And I was a part of Timpanogos' first marching band!
