Roger Sorenson

Roger was my band teacher at Bingham High. Although only for a short time, his example of dedication and persistence greatly influenced my music career. He will be missed.

Growing up in the same neighborhood with Roger created many fun memories. We ran around together as a gang ; Jim Moyle, Fred Santastevens, Ray Johnson, and myself. We played dirt field baseball, basketball, hide and seek at night, hiked the mountains, tracked down a mountain lion, and grew up going to church down on Magna Main Street.

Mr. Sorenson was my band teacher at Brockbank Jr. He also collaborated with the other Roger at Cyprus High. I used to think of them as the Woodwind and the Brass, I guess you know who was in charge. Much respect for your father, may he rest in peace.

You described your dad perfectly. He and your mom were the sweetest always with smiles on their faces. I love them and now they are together again. You were all raised by goodly parents and that is a treasure. Colleen Van Wagoner.

Rest easy Roger! I'll miss playing in the band with you!
