It was a great success and the team performed well.
2011-12 MMHS Elleves waiting to perform at the Movie Night.
Then, since the 24th was on a Sunday this year, some towns were celebrating on Saturday and some on Monday. This year, the Mapleton parade was on Saturday and the Spanish Fork one was on Monday. We were used to having both parades on the same day. So, for the Mapleton parade, the team had to walk down the parade route in between performing because we could only use the big diesel flat bed trailer for the Monday parade.
At first, it didn't seem that hard, but as the parade went on, it was a little more difficult than first anticipated! But, they looked great and we did cause a little bit of a pause in the parade, but oh well. Our performance was worth the wait!

The team, plus my assistant Lexie, me, and all of our helpers that passed out flyers for us!
After the parade, me, Scott, and Kendrick headed down to Levan. Levan was celebrating Pioneer Day on Saturday as well. We got to my parents house a little late for lunch, but there was still food and we hung out and talked to everyone. Then we headed out to the Levan Park for dinner. It was yummy! Here are some pics from that night:

After dinner, we went back over to my parents house and watched the fireworks put on by the town of Levan. They were pretty good!
Then on Monday, July 25th was the Spanish Fork parade. It was a little bit overcast for this parade, which was actually nice! This parade went a lot smoother--we didn't cause a large gap in the parade and we could keep moving and the team didn't have to walk down the parade route--we rode!
Only one mishap--the music all of a sudden stopped. I looked at the amp and it had no power. Water had got inside it--there had been some frozen water bottles sitting on top or else some water had leaked from the coolers? I'm not sure, all I know is for about two blocks, we didn't have music. Scott tipped the amp up next to the generator to see if it would "blow" out the water or help it evaporate. Either way, this helped and we had power again!
The team looked great and had another great parade! We received a lot of compliments on how energetic we looked and that we were having fun!

The team, before the Spanish Fork parade--I love the fleur de lis name signs that the moms made for the trailer. They looked so cute!
