American Fork HS Marching Band - Pocatello Competition 2009

[Phoxus]

Legendary. Whenever we even walk into our dome, I think of you guys.

[KitKatToxic]

wow not in the good way

[bass109]

Jesus is god, this is great.

[darkspydercook15]

This was a great show, i was there though i'm not in your band. To go with the comments about Heather, i still have the red ribbon i wore on my uniform at BYU and i cried during the tribute of that same night. Again this was a great show and I'll be seeing you guys this next season! From CG the marching stang

[askingkillswitch]

[TigerColorguard2012]

I was there that was so amazing to watch being a little band!

[jcd484]

lol I thought they were playing the medal of honor: vangaurd theme at the begging

[Mathew9648]

@jcd484 Oh we where actually. Sharp ears. At least I'm pretty certain that's one of the tunes. Along with the band of brothers theme.

[thunderfoot43]

This is the best high school marching band I've ever seen.

[Saguaro24]

Great performance. How many kids are in the band? That sucks when people stand and block the shot :(

[samkobrat328]

oh hell yeah!!! AFHS CAVEMEN till i die babii!!!

[TheMusicalHobo21]

[savturtles17]

you guys rocked HARD CORE! was great watching

[chutdigadut]

dude the drumline is freakin ballin

[mormongrl15]

You guys were so amazing my high school band and i were there and we were amazed it was one of the most amazing things i have ever seen in my life

[KayeleeCL]

I was on the bus that crashed. The thing that makes me cry about this video is the ending. Those backdrops only had those pictures on them for that one competition. The rest of the competitions had heather on them. I see them turn those back drops around and it shocks me to not see heathers smiling face on the one. Then I looked over to see that heather was still there... and i just couldn't stop crying.

[PhantomRolePlayer]

This show was written to be played in a dome. I'm glad that the last competition we had Heather was in one so she could hear just a sliver of what it was at nationals in that dome. Though I have no doubt that she was there cheering us on and helping the walking wounded give it their all despite how hard it was to march.

We love you Heather.

[unable1234]

i would kill to be in a band like this

[JONANDKATIEMARSHALL]

Just wow. I was in the AF drumline 89-91, and it is impossible for me to compare what we did to what this band is doing. Amazingly beautiful drill, with gorgeous music, all of it executed at a very high level. Way higher IMO than we did.

[tmjar]

I was at Indinapolis on 11-14 and you have a great band and shoud be very proud of yourselves. I personaly thought you should have been type 12, but I wasn't a judge.  Very sorry to hear of your loss.

[oliviaswine]

[blancosblunders]

Heather is in black - next to Michelle who is in the red coat.

[Mathew9648]

@oliviaswine I know this is probably the last image of her ever taken. :'( But yeah, and Michelle's the one in red, Heather liked to wear her little baseball cap and she was wearing a black shirt that day. 

[dcidancer08]

I show this just a few hours ago at BYU. It was amazing and not a dry eye in the stadium. I know Heather was so proud of "her kids!" I was sitting next to some close friends and students (I was not an AF student...I was a winterguard student). She is my hero and always will be...

Hey Heather...you're t-shirt says it all...

"Did you ever know, you are my hero?"

[ahfclass]

How were you able to DO this tonight?! Amazing.

Our hearts ache for each of you and for Heather's family and many friends.

God bless you and be with each of you.

Prayers and hope from Mountain View High School, Orem, UT.

[oldlady32]

I hope you do a great job tonight at BYU. You are a wonderful marching band and I'm sure Heather is watching you and smiling from ear to ear!! Our hopes and prayers are with you all!! My son plays in the drumline for Meridian High School in Idaho and he feels very priviliged to have seen you perform at Pocatello. God Bless You!!

[benbernards]

Fantastic show everyone. Do your best at BYU tonight. Godspeed, Heather.

As parents of a Madison High School marching band student, we were enthralled with American Fork's program on Saturday night, then horrified to hear of their tragedy. Our hearts go out to all of you. The entire marching band community is mourning with you.

[AFlippyFan]

I've seen many marching band shows and I've never had one that made me cry. But watching this, seeing heather right in front of the camera... I get so choked up. This show is amazing and the students are incredible. Heather is a wonderful person who will never be forgot. The BYU show tomorrow will be a show I will never forget.
