And as I was leaving I got this shot. I wonder if the lady on the left is thinking about how she just paid $16?

I'm glad they paid for it though. Because I feel like I got my money's worth, and there would have been nothing for me to see at all if they hadn't paid.

Building is free. It's owned by you and me. Exhibits cost money. But you can see the exhibits from inside the free building. If you pay your money, you can experience the exhibits up close, instead of looking at them from afar.

My son is in high school now as a freshman, and it's my daughter's last year, as a senior. The boy tried out for marching band, and got in, so now both of them are in the same band. That's most excellent.
Yesterday, I went to their first band competition of the season. They were good, and won their division, beating out the one other band in the same division with a score of "Excellent." This is a picture thread though, so I present to you the band that was on the field immediately prior to them. That band was in a different division, and I arrived just in time to catch their performance. I was testing the lighting and my position in the stands by snapping a few shots of this earlier band. The are Kettle Run High School Marching Band, and their show is called "Evolve." They started off with a fife and drum pair, and then proceeded to demonstrate different marching band styles over the last century or two. It was neat, and then they wheeled out this contraption that was supposed to represent the future of marching bands. This is where my pictures begin. |

They wheel the thing out, and the boy with the amazing hair climbs onto it.
He lies down. They hand him a drum. They hand him a freaking motorcycle helmet |

You can see that he is all strapped in. Feet and everything.
They wheel him to the far right on the field. They stand him up, and he begins to play. And then they start rolling him across the field while he is playing. It was quite a sight, but needed to be in video. So I pulled the camera down from my face and without my reading glasses on, started looking for the little icon that represents video mode on the dial on my camera. A few seconds later, I found it, and was able to capture the last bit of the stunt. |

I heard later that they came in second place in their division. I didn't see the first place band. I also heard they their uniforms were on back order or something, so that's why they were wearing their shorts and casual band t-shirts.

I should have kept filming. They left him there for like twenty seconds. The band started leaving the field and the parents in the pit crew went out to get him.
