It's beautiful out and this is the perfect time to create content videos and images on the cheap. While it may seem like a waste of a band practice to take a day to go out take images and photos one afternoon can give you enough content for postings, videos and other uses for months.
Tips and Tricks:
Take an extra friend, a spouse, or anyone who has an extra thumb to ensure you can get whole band shots.
There are no bad ideas, do them all think quantity and sift through later after the day is over.
Don't let perfection stand in your way, have fun cut loose….. do hang from monkey bars.
Wear sunscreen, take water, don't wilt it's been a long winter.
Bring your instruments… saxophone player from behind a tree…. Brilliant!
Make a day of it, rent a picnic shelter at your favorite park and turn the day into a band bonding grill out everyone will remember.
Bring your four legged friends. Got a leash, people love photos of animals and it adds a personal touch fans crave.
Break into groups to scout fun and fantastic finds. Images and videos of plants, bugs and nature can be incorrperated in all sorts of social media and video projects.
Head downtown and get a bit of grundge.
Find interesting signs and buildings to use as backdrops all around the area.
For river and bridge shots my favorite place is our trail system. Not to mention a great video opprotunity if you have an extra set of thumbs with.

Giant metal eagle sculpture anyone?
I hope you find this useful. This week I'm working on getting us the online directory and community calander up, so we can have that going sooner rather than later. At least if we can get that finished online it will be public facing and searchable, so this project has been prioritized until completion for the next week or so.
