This one time...at band camp...

jocose · Oct 5, 2006

I was hanging out at the University of Maryland, being the creepy old man that I have become, and got a few pics of the University's band rehearsing.

If I had known that the chicks in band looked like this

or this

I would have stuck to the oboe.

OK, here's one for the ladies of the Forum:

Here's one that didn't turn out so great, but I really would have liked it if it were sharp:

And just to show that I'm not really an ogling, creepy old man, here's a couple of arty-ish ones:

This one could be a Dark Side pic...maybe it would be called "Instrument Grave Yard":

So you posted the second trumpet player (male) "for the ladies of the forum" (too)??? Thank you :greenpbl: :biggrin:

I like your last but one photo here, the first to prove you were not only an "ogling, creepy old man". "OLD MAN" :shock: ??? YOU!?!?!? :shock:

Har-har.

Must have been fun to be out there and watch them practise and take the odd pic of the odd nice girl

LaFoto, thanks for pointing out the typo :blushing:

I don't know for sure if the girls are odd, but my guess is that they indeed are odd (there is a certain stigma with being in band here in the States).

Thanks, Chiller.

Finisher, I have a shot of a dude lifting up his shirt to show his 6-pack. I was pretty far away with a 300mm lens (I didn't want to get trampled by flag-weilding chicks), so I have absolutely no idea why on earth he was lifting his shirt, but I captured it. If you're really nice, maybe I'll post it.
