Carl, get any print requests for that one?? :-) lol... "Yes, i'll take that photo in a 4x60" :-)
Not yet, but that is probably because it is on my website and not with the others on MaxPreps. IF that team wins state (#2 in state right now and steamrolling through the playoffs) I will make sure they see it and I could come up with a print if they want it.
Just thought of something else....when I shoot the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees games....they include this on the "shot list". The want the singer, musician if there is one, the players, umpires, fan shots, CHAMP the mascot and any other possibility that would make a worthwhile photo.

As for me I don't. I have high respect for the national anthem.
So, are you saying those of us who shoot the military honor guard, the anthem singer and military fly-over do not have respect for the anthem because we're documenting (primarily for them, in many cases) those participating in the anthem? I suppose I do not see how this equals disrespect?
Just to throw in an obvious point here in case shooting an international event, all of the good thoughts above should apply to the anthem of any country, be it at an event opening or medal ceremony. I'm not picking on anyone here or any particular country, but I have seen a couple of instances of bad behaviour in the past by press and fans.
I would agree with Rick Denham.
I shoot the color guard as they are marching onto the field and once when they are at attention.
Then onto the performer, a few quick shots of the the team and then the camera is down until the last note.
