The marching band refused to yield ..

[BillM]

... well actually they did give the field back. But it make a better story this way




The game I went to last week the band consisted of 6 members, nice to see that some schools still have a thriving music program.



Next time I'll bring a wide angle to get a better shot of the entire band.






And then they were gone

For me, the one shot that stood out was the fourth. Its not that I didn't like the others - they don't have glaring errors or anything of the sort - but without the benefit of facial expressions or some sort of focus on a (or some) band members it lacks a little thematic depth for me. I like their hats though - that bright blue hue really stands out in all your shots.

Agreed, my big mistake was trying to get too many members in a single photo. And I tried again this week and made the exact same mistake, but i'll eventually figure it out

Yup, #4 is my favorite too, though they're all good.

The big question of course being, do you recall what was the deal?

 

[BillM]

Do you believe in rock and roll? Or if you prefer, will music save your mortal soul?

Those are some of the questions anyway

Well really I just wanted to know if you could teach me how to dance. Real slow.

I mean, really, really slow. I have 4 left feet. Lol

Have I mentioned it has been a really long day LOL

On that note, goodnight everyone

Y'know what? Here's a funny thing.

The title of course meant that I had to go listen to the song lest it be stuck in my head for three days. I got to the verse that contains the line that I thought said "Do you recall what was the deal the day the music died." I have my headphones on so I can hear it pretty clearly. And guess what?

That's not the line! All these years I had it wrong! And apparently so did you

The line is "Do you recall what was revealed..."

Who knew? Okay, probably a lot of people knew. But we didn't. But now we do.

Marching bands are one of the few things at a football game that truly DO look best photographed from above...they are in fact designed to be seen from a high vantage point....
