Dear Utah Valley,
I guess we're on our way. The first group in the marching band left this morning (Tuesday) at 2 a.m. and we have, like, seven or eight different flights. I get in at 1 p.m.
Everybody made the plane. It's been really easy so far. Everybody's happy and upbeat.
I think everybody got some sleep because we had to get up so early for our flights.
Most of the parents are wearing red. The kids are wearing just regular clothes.
Everybody is so excited!

Editor's note: A number of American Fork High marching band members will be sharing their impressions of the nation's capital as they prepare to march in Thursday's inauguration parade. This is the first of our "Postcards from the Inauguration."
