SCBA Finals

Here it is, the finals at the end of the season for 3A (AAA) and what a day it was. The sunset was beautiful and we ended up getting the sliver of moon in the shot for most of the evening. I tried to make the lighting correct for the performers on the field, and that caused some darkness in the areas that are not the field, and the lighting across the field caused some weird sensor banding, but its not distracting and the videos still turned out really nice. I was really impressed with the performances, made for a great evening of music.

The audio was captured on a Zoom M3 stereo shotgun style mic, and has some excellent side lobe isolation, and we were at the top most point in the stadium, so we have the greatest view for your entertainment and study.

I'm happy that you stopped by, and I hope that this is the recording that got you to stay for a bit. Like, share and subscribe to keep advised of the newest content.

The audio is mixed for the best possible sound for each stadium, i take a sound print at the beginning and try to balance all performances that way. I still think that its worth listening to at least one run through on a nice set of headphones or nice speaker system, but I'm biased and love this music.

The video is capture in 4k, and the details are as sharp as possible to see all of the band members and their locations and positions, the props, and try to capture some of the beginning and ending activities in case that helps the PIT crews with logistics.

*To the band directors: You’ve led these students to this amazing point, I hope I can capture (in image and videos) how awesome they sound and how vibrant they are and please feel free to use this as a study aid if needed. I look forward to working with you next year again. I do this for you 😎

*To all the band members past, present and future: You are amazing! I didn’t have band growing up, and I saw how awesome my kids turned out by going through band, I am so excited to image the discipline and work that you all put into the sport, and I can’t wait to see what’s happening next year. I do this for you as well. 📸

*To all the parents: I hope that my pics and vids can help capture a moment of your kids as mine were captured, it helped my wife when she needed it, and friends and family members don’t get to see these sights normally. I do this for you. 😊
