A week in CALIFORNIA with the BAND





















This last week (Christmas break) the American Fork Marching Band went the California to participate in the Annual Rose Parade! I had the funnest week spending two days in Disney Land, a day at Band Fest, a day on the beach and in Hollywood, and a day performing the Rose Parade. I have pictures that once I figure out how to get them on my computer, I will put them on my blog. I'm so grateful that I was able to be in the wonderfuly amazing and hardest parade! And I grateful my parents let me go and payed for my whole trip! I love you! :)
