As evening approached on Saturday I headed over to Chattahoochee High School in Johns Creek for the USBands Georgia Regional Marching Competition. High school marching bands from across the state and the southeastern region participated in the all day affair performing the halftime shows they have worked on for the first quarter of the school year. Ola, George Walton and Forsyth Central high schools were three of these bands that I photographed for a Three of a Kind photo feature for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
