Your hostess has a Kodak. It is often in the on position. I have pointed and I have shot, but for some true 
art of The Ohio State University Marching Band in action, go to the site of Band photographer and alum Ed Crockett and his wife, Karen.
Quality videos of the Band and its Drum Majors are difficult to come by; they move fast, lighting is often atrocious, I'm usually either right on top of them or shooting between a tenacious Boy Scout and a clump of tailgaters, and I tend to handle a camera as though it were a wild, clawed, and somewhat rabid ferret.
But Drum Major Jason Stuckert and former Assistant Matt Berndsen were kind enough to demostrate and break down some standard tricks, and when football season arrived, well-- let's face it, I do a lot of standing around. Might as well record what I happen to be standing in front of.
