I photographed a Chamblee High School marching band practice for the Brookhaven Patch newspaper on Tuesday, September 20, 2011. The Marching Bulldogs boast around 60 students including woodwinds and brass, percussion and the color guard. Each day after school the band practices for a few hours as they prepare for that week’s Friday night football game half-time show. These are my favorite images from the practice.
