I used to attend this competition as part of Pocatello High School before I graduated 13 years ago. I would like to extend my condolences and prayers to the family of the lady who died, as well as all of the American Fork Band. American Fork was always a wonderful school to compete with at this competition, and I wish them all the best...

I am a member of the Meridian High School Band and I saw them perform. We knew right away they were the best of the competition. Their playing was AMAZING! About 15 minutes away from our school, we received the news about the wreck and I burst into tears. Mr. Felton, our director, kept his head down for the rest of the night. I was told 24 kids are in the hospital now. American Fork, you will be in our prayers.

I feel sorry for those people on the first bus. I hope the family of the woodwinds instructor will get thru this horrible time and be happy in the future.

God Bless...

To the friends and family of those affected, may God bless each of you in the coming days. This horrible accident will impact so many lives. May each of us here on this board remember to pray for these people.

Very sad at the loss of an obviously wonderful human being who was making a difference in so many lives. What a tragedy. :( Am praying for healing of the hurting and that God would strengthen them and give them the grace to endure this.

AFHS Band Mom

This isn't the first time the American Fork marching band has had to deal with tragedy. I've seen them perform with strength and amazing unity at the funerals of their fellow band members. I have no doubt they will be able to do it again and be stronger for it. This is a tender time for the band family. My prayer tonight is for all of you: the band members, leaders, and parents, but especially for the family of the young leader who died while stepping up to the plate when her help was most needed. My gratitude and heartfelt sympathy to you.

To show your support, please come to the high school at midnight and greet those who are returning home safely. It would be much appreciated. Thank you!

So sorry for the loss.
Was this a school bus or a charter bus company?
