So, I’ve been shooting the Lawrence High School marching band whenever I go back home. Last night was their last performance of the season, so I went with them and hung out.
They didn’t win the competition (they won last year) but at least the kids had fun. And they didn’t do too bad, placing fifth overall.
As one girl put it after the show, “I don’t care what the judges think. I felt good about that.”
Anyway, here’s some shots.

The Drum Majors.

Rocking out to Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” before leaving for the show.

On the senior bus, heading out for the last time.

Checking out the competition.

Practice. Practice. Practice.
Even up to 10 minutes before.

That’s right…and make me a sandwich while you’re there
(again, kidding!)
I really like the last shot, this story is beggin for audio! And I’ve got a beef with you~ Mr. Cooney’s on your links but not me? I see how it is, he’s a man, a real photojournalist, and I’m just a girl with a camera. I guess I’ll go back to the kitchen…(kidding)
