...shot these (along with 3000 others, lol) at Stanford stadium last weekend. Much of the time the action is fast and furious. Using Nikon: D5 and 200-400 f4. I started in this activity as a youngster and teach movement skills to this day along with playing large-bore brass...constantly scratching der itchy...

I have always watched with amazement at the athleticism it takes to perform like some marching bands do and play at the same time. Great images thanks for sharing.

Great series! I spent several years following our HS marching band...my son was the drum major...and enjoyed their competition.
There’s the old joke about not being able to walk and chew gum at the same time. Anyone who has trouble with that would never be able to march in formation, frequently changing direction and cadence, while playing from memory a complicated piece on an unwieldy instrument and avoiding bumping into the player next to you.🤪

In number 8 the drummer looks like they are really mad at the drum. Thanks for the great action pictures👍

Great photos. I remember my time in high school band fondly. Really helped me out when I got to Navy boot camp!

Simply AWESOME! You are truly a master of your craft chasgroh...
This is indeed photojournalism at it's finest!
Epic color harmonies latent within... All are superb decisive moments...
"...I started in this activity as a youngster and teach movement skills to this day..."
Intimate knowledge of a subject is a gatekeeper for attaining photographic excellence...
To believe otherwise is folly... Your command of this genre is absolutely stellar...
This series speaks to the iconic words of Robert Capa
"If your photographs aren't good enough, you're not close enough"
btw that AF-S 200-400mm f/4 IF ED VR is by far my favorite Nikkor...
Absolutely nothing I've ever used approaches it in AF speed, contrast, color saturation and acuity...
Thank you so much for sharing these chasgroh
It is wonderful to see this level of publication quality here on UHH...
Looking forward to more of your amazing artistry...

And thank YOU so much for your positive comments, Thomas! AFA that lens, I can't imagine a better sports system than that thing hooked to a D5. You have such a way with words, sir,
now add "Charlie" to your vocabulary! ;0)
