And sometimes I just like to illustrate why I need rehearsals too.
I strongly believe you can't just bring a camera to the concert or the dress rehearsal, then point and shoot.
You have to know what to shoot for and what the piece is about.
Look at the pair above of Kelsey Crawford and the two pair below with Trey Johnson.

I just liked this shot and decided to give it a poster look. So I added title text and IDs.
