Okay, this time I decided to bring the camera and now you get to see images of high school football at Catholic Central. I discovered shooting under the Friday night lights is a challenging task, so I tried a couple of approaches with our camera. Here’s our team, in Blue and White. This one is dark, but I couldn’t shoot with a longer shutter time because the team would be blurry. I’ll have to bring the tripod next time:

   They totally pummeled the opposing team, recovering plenty of fumbles and make interceptions. The score was 30-0 at the end of the first quarter, and 44-0 at halftime. Here’s Adam’s band, after marching onto the field from the end zone. They are wearing rain gear because we were starting to feel the long reach of Hurricane Ike. These are the formations for the first  and second songs:

   And here’s a zoom up on the drumline. Adam is the cymbal player second from last:

   The drumline is pretty big. I recall at MacArthur that we had about six snares, but only four bass drums and two or three tri toms. Adam’s drumsline has seven bass drums and four quintuple toms(the fifth and tiniest tom is hidden between the drummer’s body and the two forward toms).

   I’m really enjoying this stuff. Next week, Adam and I will go see the team play an away game at Brother Rice, a major rival.
