United We Stand

Last Tuesday was the BYU Invitational Competition. It was a good competition. We were the first on the field out of everyone performing! We did sort of suck it up a bit...and we didn't place at all...but so far this has been my favorite competition. The weekend before the competition the AF woodwinds instructor, Heather Christensen, died saving her students in a bus crash. In honor of her and the AF marching band, every single person in the stadium wore red and black ribbons. When their band came out everyone stood up and cheered and clapped louder than for any other band, and most stayed standing throughout the performance. By the end of their show I was crying along with most likely almost everyone else in the stands AND in the AF band. It was a beautiful night, full of remembrance of a hero.
