9th Grade Band Bash!!

Taylor has mastered the Bass Clarinet!! For 3 years now, he has rented the same bass clarinet from his school for $70 a year. In 7th grade, His teacher told him about a bass clarinet that the school had for rent, we jumped on this opportunity because the same instrument at Bert Murdock Music was $25 a month to rent. This instrument must be 50 years old, or so it looks. When Taylor brought the instrument home for the first time, the case was so worn that the wood showed through in most places. So with a little time and a lot of black duck tape, we had that case looking like new in no time.

2011 American Fork Band Bash!
Once a year all the band classes from American Fork Junior High  & American Fork High combine for one big band bash. The highlight was watching Taylor's 9th Symphonic Band play and of course the American Fork Marching Band Grand Finale at the end, (Utah State Champs for many years). It was really cool, but my cell phone died during Taylor's performance, but I did manage to get a short video of him playing. In this video, he is right in the middle of the group.
