Hugh Carey: Homecoming Parade Boxer Band

I’ve always thought all marching band members are nerds in formal uniforms. But this guy probably needed a break from dressing as a “formal nerd” and let the fresh mountain air breeze through his boxers. I spotted him by noticing his white, skinny legs flowing with the mob of black dress pants. I followed him for a while to compose the photo with different angles. I think I could’ve got a better angle by having the viewers see the row of uniformed members first, then notice an “undressed” band member secondly, to make the photo more readable. Oh well. Keeping a sharp eye for unique photos in a common event all day has paid off for today.
