Trying something new this summer!

05/09/2026

My oldest son Adam Brandt is a senior in the Film program at UVU on the directorā€™s track. He has a lot of experience working in every aspect of film. He is very talented and hardworking. If you have any connections at all to help him land a job with a studio in Utah please let me know!

He is willing to volunteer time as well but really needs a paying job. His current job has cut his hours considerably and he has bills to pay. He has sent his resume to several studios and is actively applying for jobs. I am just doing what I can to network for him.

If you have any leads at all please let me know! I can send you his resume. TIA

The past few years have been incredible for the Maple Mountain Band program. In spite of a lot of big changes these students continue to work hard and receive high marks in whatever they do. I had the opportunity to serve as booster president for this program for three years so have seen firsthand what a boon this program has been to our students and our community.

Recently, the advanced jazz band received the highest possible score in every category at state festival.

I hope you take a look at this flyer and consider attending this special event to help raise money for our band program.

It will be a blast full of good music, good food and dancing, and a silent auction. 9th grade and above are welcome!

After 5 months of preparation and waiting (mostly) patiently šŸ¤£,ā€¦I drove this beauty home yesterday. She checks all the boxes on my wish list.

Yesterday I got up and got the very physical sensation and impression that my car was ready for me to pick up. I have been searching and researching painstakingly for 5 months and nothing felt right. I had no idea where to go.

Learning to trust my intuition has been a lifelong of intentional effort and cultivation. Learning to trust the timing of things has been even more challenging to cultivate.

But here she is! I am not usually one to be attached to things. I could care less about having a fancy car or house.

And as I am learning to ask God/universe more specifically for what I desire, I didnā€™t want to settle. I could have dealt with being without a car longer. And, i am so grateful the timing came sooner than later!

Feeling blessed this Easter! I am mostly grateful for my relationship with Jesus, mother and father. I am grateful to have had their love and companionship through excruciatingly hard things. I am grateful for the gifts that have come as I have chosen to rise above them.

Good things truly do come to those who show up and wait in faith.

Palmer came home this morning on cloud nine. Hardly slept a wink last night due to an early flight. But has been grinning ear to ear all day showing no signs of slowing down haha.

This was definitely a highlight for him. The opportunity to perform wit such high caliber musicians like himself takes the experience to a whole new level. I am so thrilled for him!

And I am catching up on finding the news articles from this weekend. So fun to see him get recognized for his hard work.

Itā€™s a wrap! The only picture he sent me all week but I will take it! Haha

The concert tonight was incredible! The film crew did a good job blessing me with some good close ups so I could see the sheer joy on his face.

My mama heart is so happy right now. Only a few hours until I get to see him safely home again.

On Monday I spent a few hours submitting to local news sources about Palmers amazing year he has had. I was honestly blown away by all that I could include! I think he is amazing because I am his mom and I see his consistent hard work behind the scenes. But when itā€™s all on paper it really hits home!! The sky is the limit for this kid!

And he remains ever so humble and kind. He is currently in Indianapolis for Honor Band of America. The only baritone saxophone that got chosen from all who auditioned around the nation.

Apparently, the mayor and a city councilman of Spanish Fork saw a short feature on him on the news on Tuesday night. The councilman brought him up to the mayor, asking if they could do something to honor him and his hard work. I only know this because a friend was watching the town council meeting and sent me the YouTube video.
(If anyone saw the news and saw Palmerā€™s name mentioned and knows what news source and when it was aired, please let me know because I canā€™t seem to find it anywhere.) I would include the write up I sent the news outlets but Instagram limits how much you can post.

Oh and he asked me to teach him to sew the patches on to his band jacket before he left. He is smiling because he knew I was taking a picture. Cute boy.

After many years of a break, I am getting out there again. I am the last performer of the night. I am singing two songs. One of which I wrote the lyrics to. If you are free I hope you come join us!

This darling boy knocked it out of the park last night at his concerto competition. We all knew he would! He was so expressive with the most beautiful tone quality and skill. He took my breath away and made my eyes leak!

The orchestra did a beautiful job playing his piece! So grateful to Blanka Bednarz and Utah Valley Youth Symphony Orchestra for all you do for these kids! The orchestra was especially brilliant last night and they are only kids!
I donā€™t have access to the recording yet but I will share snippets when I can.
So blessed to have some siblings and nieces and nephews come as well! Kim Palmer Palmer Sophie Palmer. Cheryl Beitler Palmer.
Grandma Joni Schreiber Brandt came from Colorado too! She was so gracious to buy Palmerā€™s tux so he can look his best. (Hopefully he doesnt grow too much more so he can use the tux through college. šŸ˜¬šŸ¤£)

A special thank you to his private teacher and band directors Ray Smith MiKae Osborn Joshua Hurst for mentoring Palmer and providing all the opportunities for him to grow in his passion.

Thank you to Adam Brandt my film student son and his helpers lincoln brandt and
Robert Brandt for filming and recording the concert.

Thank you to Sherri Webb for letting us borrow your car for a few days since we are still working towards getting another car since I totaled the van in November.

And thank you to all who have donated to his music! Cinnamon rolls and art prints will hopefully get delivered this week. (We are still accepting donations if you are able to help get him to Indianapolis in March. -brandt-1)

From his teacher Ray Smith-ā€œI was really glad I could hear it! Palmer did so well. He is well beyond his years. It will be fun to watch his very bright future unfold.ā€

I dropped this cute boy off last night for his first rehearsal and had to capture a few pics, which he found highly unnecessary. šŸ˜‚

I told him someday he will appreciate the documentation of his journey.

I found it so cool to see the 18 spots with their names and what high school they are from.
Only 18 spots in all of the state of Utah!

This morning I dropped him off for day 2 rehearsal. This Is going to go from 8am-10pm with a lunch and dinner break.

Tomorrow there is a morning rehearsal then a concert at 3:15.

I asked him when he usually starts feeling tired in these rehearsals. He said about an hour before the end. Except he never seems to show it. This kid is tough and i am sure his daily 3-4 hrs of practice on top of school and three years of greulling marching band seasons has helped build that stamina.

I canā€™t wait to hear what these kids can pull together! bandislife

When this son of mine writes music it just flows from him. He works hard at everything he does including composing. But this is the area where it just seems to be where his natural genius thrives and flows without much effort. This is called a cadenza where the instrumentalist plays by themselves for a moment.

He is premiering this concerto for tenor sax he wrote called ā€œRhapsodyā€ on Feb 16th at the Orem Library at 7pm. Please come support him if you are local. You might just be part of history in the making!

If you are able to contribute to his music endeavors we are accepting donations at -brandt-1.
