The gallery is divided into three separate categories for your convenience: the MarchCam Gallery (located on this page), the ConcertCam Gallery, and the ParadeCam Gallery. This change should decrease the amount of time finding a particular event's photographic documentation.
Pictures for Website publication are chosen by Casanova Z. Nurse without regard to the subject's gender, race, school class, or other factors. Attempts will be made whenever possible to contact the person(s) presented in the picture of its intended publication on the Hillsborough High School Big Red Band Website. Objections to picture publication will be taken into consideration in the final selection of pictures to be published, but the ultimate decision was made by Casanova Z. Nurse as to whether or not the picture will be used to promote the Hillsborough High School Band. Pictures will never be published to purposely exploit or embarass persons featured in it.
James Martinez (class of '96, right) and 1995-96 co-Drum Major Louis Malave (c/o '96) accompany and advise
this year's solo Drum Major Andrew Krueger (c/o '98) prior to the start of Band Camp.
Mr. Farmer greets the new group before getting down to business.
Junior Anna Rupert plays her heart out during a musical rehearsal.
"I already know all this stuff! I feel so goofy doing this," comments junior David Bokor as the students
become (re)acquainted with marching styles.
The Dancerettes joined the instrumentalists during the second week of Band Camp '97, preparing for another spectacular
year of performances.
The band rehearsed inside the band room for the first night, thanks in part to light rain outside.
The clarinetists, foreground, rehearse their steps in the midst of another beautiful sunset. The practice concluded at 9:00 following
a rush to the water coolers.
The 1997-98 band makes their debut, stunning the Durant crowd.
The "third-quarter break" chant works everytime. A sea of red, full of band members, develops outside the visitors' concession stand.
A scene reminiscent of the surprise loss at King in 1996; the band stares dazed and shocked as a late game-winning field goal is ruled "no good" by field judges.
Mr. Farmer proudly leads his band into Chelo Huerta Field for pre-game activities.
As drum major Andy Krueger conducts the band in the national anthem, Mr. Farmer and others salute Old Glory.
The Dancerettes were the highlight of this part of the show, catching the attention of all spectators.
Despite the unanticipated loss to the East Lake Eagles, band members still gather around the sacred "H" and perform the school alma mater.
How did Venus Broadhurst manage to load the sousaphone bell onto the truck with it over his head? With his x-ray vision, of course!

As drum major Andy Krueger (left photo, left) approaches the lane to try to convert a
difficult split, a band member on the lane next to him appears to wipe away a tear as his bowling ball falls into the left channel. On the other end of the
alley (right photo), senior Kyle Shaw, trumpeteer, collapses in disbelief after his striking streak ended at four.
This bowler was not the only one using their own distinct bowling techniques to score big. This particular
roll surprisingly resulted in a bonafide 10-pin strike.
The satisfaction of this student clearly shows after falling eight bowling pins, which counted as a strike in the
"eight pin no tap" scoring system.
This student went far above and beyond the call of duty to rescue a misplaced pin stranded in the gutter.
The entire game was plagued with excessive precipitation. The rain came down in buckets just in time for the King game. Many drainage pipes, like this one behind
the band room (left), resembled mini-waterfalls. Following Mr. Farmer's cancellation of all music performances, many band members attempted to watch the game from
Huerta Field. The downpours resumed, and many of them came running back for shelter, including seniors Emily Maggio and Andy Bennett (right picture).
The concession stand workers, comprised mainly of band and Dancerette parents, prepare the food and themselves for the horde of band students at third-quarter break.

Before the buses left, though, band members hung an older version of the marching banner outside the bus windows for a photo op.
"C'mon, let's make some noise!" urges loyal band alumnus Louis Malave (class of 1996, second from right). Accompanying Malave in the front of the band are, from left, Mrs. Susan Farmer, Miss Fullam, Vanessa Valdez, Andy Krueger, and Mr. Farmer.
Junior snare drum performer Ben Levin strikes a pose at the end of the game.
