Excellent set and I agree with you that band members work their asses off too (my brother was a band member). I never leave the field at half-time as I think its just as important to capture band members as it is the football players.
If you think marching bands work their tails off, find a drum corps rehearsal or show next summer. They take it to a whole other level (and not meant as a slight to marching bands by any means, I have done both).
I really like these, Scott and they have given me a new perspective. I hadn't thought of use a long lens for portraits, during their performance. The close-ups look good and I can stay further out of the way to get the shots.
