The BAND DAD's

The American Fork High School Marching Band, Color Guard and Winter Guard are really spoiled by a group of Men (and a few women help as well) who help them.  The BAND DAD's mark the field the first few times every season, they make back drops, create props, repair band timpani legs, fix band equipment, paint guard floors, you name it they do it.  

The BAND DAD's put together their own FIELD SHOW to be performed once and only once each season at the Family show.  The guys have a GREAT time doing it and it shows.




The BAND DAD's are the reason that the Band and Guard are so good. 


THANK YOU BAND DAD's for all you do for the Marching Band, Color Guard, Winter Guard and all the other bands at the school that you help.

I look forward to watching this show each time they perform and seeing it change and develop during the whole season.

2011 Family Show

What a fun evening.  The American Fork High School Marching Band does their show for FREE for all the family and friends to come watch.  They do their show one time, then Mr. Miller talks a bit.  The brass, woodwinds, pit, drumline and Color Guard each do a little show of their warm up routines.  Then they do the show again.  The evening ends with a family member of each person in the show joining them on the field and trying to follow them around as they perform.  It is an exciting night for everyone.

Mom - are you taking my picture again?

 












The band is so thankful for Dennis and FRESH MARKET.  They donate so many food items to the band. 












A proud Dad and his beautiful daughter!
