It is not too difficult to make time to talk to band members, but I would also like footage of the band practicing, which is literally impossible for any band member to get. So, to make a long story short, I was wondering if any parents who have video recorded ANYTHING AT ALL (loading/unloading truck, buses, at dinner break, run-throughs, competitions, football games, etc.) would be willing to shoot me an with any footage that is band related for this season (or alternatively, on a flash drive or SD card). Any footage is welcome, even if it is shaky. I have tools to remove that on my personal computer.
