BAND.us Update

Update from BAND: Fri August 1, 2025 10:37am

Seniors, don’t forget we have banner pictures today! Be in uniform in the auditorium lobby at 1 pm and here are soulful hints:

-Full uniform, including hat
• Photo will be from about the knees-up, so band shoes aren't required.
• I will be taking about 2-3 poses. They can be in a "playing" pose or simply holding their instrument. We're taking a few photos, so they can try different poses. They should think of poses ahead of time. For sports, I often provide some pose ideas. But it's pretty easy to say "here are 5-6 ways to stand with a soccer ball", versus here are trumpet poses, here are clarinet poses, here are bass drum poses, here are flute poses. They might just have to come up with ideas themselves.
• Drummers are welcome to pose with sticks/mallets, if they don't want to wear the drum for the photo. I'Il leave that up to them.
• Smiling or serious, up to them.
• Instruments should be as clean and polished as possible.
