A group of fife and drum corps enthusiasts was gathered for
competitions, not far from my son-in-law's birthday party.

My other son-in-law has a business partner who was competing that day.
We didn't arrive in time to see him compete, but I managed to get a few
shots of the "junior" division.  FWIW, each competitor is required to
stand, as you can see, out in front of the seated judges and perform
what I think of as a "compulsory," a specified routine within a set
period of time, with various "strike" combinations and rhythms.
Fascinating, and intimidating, at least for me.

Unfortunately, I could not get closer to the drummers.  I got in as
close as I could without arousing the ire of the judges.

All M7, Summarit 50/1.5, BW400CN

Comments welcomed, as always.
