A Marching Band

Posted by Christine (Ellemford, United Kingdom) on 16 July 2012 in Documentary & Street and Portfolio.

As we arrived in Liverpool this band marched up the road. I don't know what they were representing but I know they weren't there for us. The lady majorette ( she probably wouldn't like to be called that!) seemed quite a character.

I'm very much an amateur photographer. I live in the hills of the Scottish Borders which has fantastic flora and fauna, as well as wonderful light.

Nice street shot. She sure does look quite a character!

strange to march through indifference and between cars

I think this is rehearsal for the opening of the Olympics . . the back-up team in case of power failure !

Would agree with Richard - certainly looks like an Orange Order parade.
There seems to be a lack of support for this marching band though.

Nice to have a little parade when you get there, the people on the bus seem
riveted, probably wondering whether to stay on.

Looks like Orangemen to me Christine.

The band looks good in your street shot of the local parade.
Very good from-the-car shot.

This image is full of character...and it is great that you can see some of the people on the bus looking at the band.

very appealing processing here! there seem to have been more than one "character" in this band, though ... ;-))

Hmm, a funny lot the Orangemen, great shot quick on the camera there.

Yep, I can't quite envisage her twirling her Pom-pom's somehow!

Looks like you were right in it, I think it could be 'The Lodge' ?
