Today I was welcomed in to my first Colors Day pep rally at Fayetteville High School. This idea is new to me – where I’m from, we didn’t have Colors Day. Our pep rallies were a seasonal event and the only time anyone was crowned for anything was for homecoming and prom (and boys were voted for positions in these coronations as well). Nonetheless, pep rallies like these are awesome! I love performances by cheer, dance and clubs. Plus, events such as this demonstrate the leadership it takes to plan or MC events for an entire school! Bravo to those involved and congrats to all SIX ladies crowned! This year, for the first time in school history, two Maids of Honor were crowned.

The girls game was physical tonight with several turnovers mid-court and lots of tumbles. The more aggressive the games are, the more exciting they are to shoot. Always keeps me on my toes (even though I’m sitting most of the time).

This was my first time shooting basketball in Fayetteville’s new gym and unfortunately I didn’t have two sync cords for my strobes. I thought the one may automatically slave to the master, but alas, it did not. Thankfully, the gym is pretty well lit, so the photos still turned out well.
