Marching Band & Other Things

I'm just getting worse and worse at this. I guess I just don't find my little life exciting enough to post about. I guess between school, work and Marching Band. I forget to update the blog.

Last night was family night for the Marching Band. Orem High hosted it. 4 Bands performed yesterday. Westlake was first, it's the new school in Saratoga Springs, who is in our class. They were good. If they are any indication of how other schools, in our division, are doing we're going to have some stiff competition. Then we performed. It was very nice. Yesterday was the first time, this season, that every band member was present. It really made a difference for the performance. Yeah we have a long way to go but so does everyone else. Payson was next. They are in the class right above us. They did well too. Rachel has only been with the guard for 3 weeks. I think if she keeps going the way she has they are going to be a rocking team. Then Orem went. Mom made is sound like the guard was just horrible. They were better than my team. I wish all of my students had as much confidence as they showed. I'm really jealous.

Friday we perform at the Homecoming game and then we have a competition on Saturday. I'll let you know what happens.

I really need to start taking pictures of things. I didn't bring the camera last night and so don't have anything to show. I'm going to have to remind myself every time we go somewhere. I have a few pictures from our trip to the zoo. But am so bad at uploading them to the computer that I just forget. Sad.

I'm taking a digital Photograhy class. We've already turned in 2 assignments (3 if your really counting, but the first was a self portrait and I'm not going to show that one....sorry)

Both had to be portraits. The first to use natural lighting. We couldn't crop it or photoshop it. It had to be an image straight from the camera. This is my favorite of the two.

The next assignment was to take a portrait in harsh light and use the flash fill setting on the camera. I tried to get more light on audrey's face but she wouldn't have it. This is the best I could get.


Our next assignment, due on Friday, is a landscape. But we can Photoshop it and crop it. Does any one have an idea where I can take a good picture? I could really use your help.
