We have loved watching Rease this year in her marching band. They started their competition season the middle of September and had 4 competitions this year. They have done incredible especially since this is just the 2nd year Mountain Ridge High has been a school. They have improved so much each time I see them and it has been so fun to watch! Rease is completely into it and has been working so hard. Each time they have a competition, she is determined do do better for the next one. They have place 1st in a couple of the competitions and 2nd in the others. They were one of the top teams going into the state competition.
State this year was at American Fork High and was on Halloween day. These kids have done so much to get to this point and I'm so proud of each of them.
Their performance at state was AMAZING! It was by far the best they had performed all year and I knew they they had given their all in those 7 minutes. We watched a couple other teams in their division perform and they weren’t near as good or precise with their performance as we had been. I was so happy that they did so well! It wasn’t until later that evening that the results were announced and the team was together to hear the announcement. Mountain Ridge High took 1st place! Rease and her band are state champions! She was so excited and called me immediately in tears of joy. The team celebrated together and celebrated some more as the bus pulled back into Herriman. They got a police escort as they drive down the street and pulled into the high school because they were state champs they got to take pictures on the field with their trophy and Rease has been on cloud nine ever since. We’re so proud of her and this amazing accomplishment!
