Welcome to the Herriman High School Instrumental Music blog!

My name is Mr. Shawn Mangum and I am the director of the bands and orchestras at the new Herriman High. I am very excited for a wonderful beginning with you. We will be working hard and achieving great things together. Until school starts this blog will be the quickest and easiest way of communicating with you, so come back often. There will be regular updates and new information coming! If you need to contact me directly, don't hesitate to e-mail me at shawn.mangum@herrimanhigh.org and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

New Baby!



I have to brag about my cute little daughter as much as I can. Her name is Olivia Marie Mangum. She was born on November 29 at 11:11 AM. She weighed 7 lbs 5 ozs and was 19.5 inches. Her brother Porter has a lot of fun with her already!

Drum Major Auditions

Drum major auditions will be held January 18th. If you are planning on auditioning check back for more info. Everyone else that is planning on doing marching band next year, plan on attending for a small portion in order to play for those auditioning. That afternoon will also be our DCI party, followed by the boys basketball game against Bingham. It should be a fun day so mark it on your calendars and good luck to those that will be auditioning.

Pep Band

The pep band schedule is now available! We start playing at games beginning in January and into February. All games listed are REQUIRED for HHS marching band students. Middle school marching band students are not required to participate, but are strongly encouraged to join when they can.

Anyone that will be attending Herriman High is invited to join for any of the games (7-12 grade). Please invite any friends that can play to come have fun with us!

The dates listed will not be removed, though there may be a few extra that are added. Keep checking back for updates.

Fundraiser Stuff

Please bring your fundraiser forms to class on Wednesday or Thursday and the class president will collect them and take them to Mrs. Willmore. I will be back in class on Thursday, and maybe my little girl will have a name by then.

Week of 11/29 - 12/3

Hey there band and orchestra students! I apologize that I cannot be at school the first part of this week. My wife is going to be having a baby tomorrow (Monday) so I will be spending my next few days with my family. I will keep you updated on how things are going and maybe even include a picture of my new baby girl.

Please work hard this week while I am gone, there are only two weeks until the concert.

I hope your Thanksgiving was great!

Mr. Mangum
