Honor Chior

Every spring the middle school band teachers select some their bands for honor band. Madison never wanted to do it and Allison did not want to do it last year. This year she had many friends doing it and Mr. Sandvik encouraged her to do it with them. She decided to and has been practicing for three weeks on Thursday nights with all the other band students from the other middle schools. The music at first seemed really hard to her but once she played through it a few times she was comfortable with it. Tonight was the concert. It was fun to go see her preform with different people and a different director. Allison really wants to stay with band in high school and try our marching band. The conductor just happened to be the conductor at Rocky Mountain High school where she would have to do marching band. She wants to do it at Meridian High School but since we moved we are no longer in those boundaries and the district has just passed new boundaries with new rules that make it hard to attend a school that you don't live within the boundaries. She is out of luck but we weren't going to let her anyways. After seeing the hard transition that the move has been on the girls we now see how important it is to be at he same school with kids in your ward. Hindsight always gets you.
