10/29/2016 UIL Area D Marching Contest

I spent the day with the OPE last Saturday. What a difference shooting in daylight makes. I almost forgot what it's like! I shot the preliminary performance in the morning and attended the Burger Stadium rehearsal that afternoon. I shot 2888 images that day and have posted about 400 of the best images, once again, in two galleries to preserve the end-of-show.
