KAYSVILLE — Davis High School has one of the most accomplished band programs in the state and can be counted among the “best of the best,” as evidenced by the band’s recent invitation to perform in the 2013 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif.

At the core of the program are more than 300 teenagers who dedicate many hours each week, both during and after school, toward perfecting their music and working as a team.

“(Being in the band) is about learning how to work well with people, how to be friends with others, and trying to come together with a common goal to create something great,” said Jacob D. Christensen, 18, who emphasized that the “D” was important because there is another Jacob Christensen in the band.
