Mesa High Band Night

Josh spent the afternoon and evening with the Mesa High Marching Band. After school, the Taylor Band students traveled to Mesa High for a group practice. The Brimhall and Mesa Jr. High bands went also. The Mesa High Band Booster provided dinner before the kids headed off to sit in the stands. During the first half of the game, the Mesa High Band played during the game, while the junior high kids soaked in the experience. It was a hot day, so the Band Boosters. parents of the marching band members, handed out water constantly. My sister was in charge of getting the water and she was busy keeping those kids hydrated. At half-time, the bands went onto the field. The Mesa High band marched out first and did a couple of numbers, and then the junior high bands joined them. It was amazing to watch Josh march on the field and see him perform. He played the bass clarinet this time, but will switch back to the clarinet when he plays next year in the marching band. This experience helped Josh and he still wants to play in the marching band.
