I am actually in this band! I found this photo and was totally surprized. I never even knew people were taking pictures of us. There definately has to be a law or something about people taking pictures of us without our permission.

Give me 20!
I wish this shot was from the side but it is a fantastic candid

Drop and give me 20 at band practice? Get the horn out of this kid's hands and give him a football :)
Good Shot.

Failure to march correctly? Focus is good, framing works, color O.K., might need a little more punch. Interest - so so. 7 Swash

Interesting picture - makes you wonder what is really going on here. Not sure if the kid on the ground is doing those pushups voluntarily or because he has been ordered to (which your caption implies). Composition, focus, and lighting are all good.

Boot camp for band members. If you miss the note you gotta give them 50. If you hit them all they will let you shoot the rifle.
Love this picture

mood captured - mom didn't tell me they ran this band like it was the army!
sincerity of expressions - can't see faces, posture is average, sorry

Ah, this brings back some band camp memories! Thankfully our director wasn't that strict, but I feel his pain!

Oh, how I remember band camp and the inevitable pushups!
This is too funny!
09/02/2002 08:34:00 AM
Very funny!
09/02/2002 01:30:00 AM
what sousa-crazed fascist makes marching band kids do push ups?
is that a firearm?
is this like fight club or something?
nice light
