It’s so cool that the drum majors get uniforms with capes. Who else gets capes? Superheroes. So in my book, that makes drum majors superheroes. Look at the power they wield over an entire field of musicians. Have you ever tried to get a musician to do anything? They’re a bunch of free-spirited creative types that are long on fun and short on, well, let’s just say it would take a superhero to get them to march together. It reminds me of that Todd Rundgren song about not working as much as drumming.
Photos from the Luverne Marching Band’s two halftime performances on September 23rd and October 7th are in one gallery HERE. I was on the east side of the field for the first performance and the west for the second. I learned the hard way that photographing a trombone player from their left side does not make for a great photo because their instrument covers their face, so that’s why there’s only a couple of trombones from the October performance.
Photos in the band gallery are for your viewing pleasure. I do this because I enjoy it. Feel free to print them out for your scrapbook or whatever. If you put one on Facebook, please tag me in the logo. Prints are also for sale for a nominal fee. They are hosted through SmugMug and printed and shipped from Bay Photo in California.
