To finish off the marching band Three of a Kind for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, I photographed Joyful Noise during the Wolverine Classic at West Forsyth High School in Cumming, Georgia. Joyful Noise was one of over ten marching bands to perform their halftime shows under the watchful eyes of judges who doled out scores. Joyful Noise is unique as the band is completely made up of home school students.
