Exceedingly rare and vintage pit band photos of the musicians for Disney’s High School Musical presentation at McIntyre Hall 2007. These musicians were VERY fun and intense to work with. When we get a tight groove going on it feels more like we’re cruising down the street with the subs cranking.<\/p>\n

UPDATE – MORE BAND PHOTOS HERE! <\/a><\/p>\n

Most of the musicians I’ve worked with before on other productions and they are all my first choice players to work with right now. They consistently rise to the occasion and raise the bar where most others would have folded and settled for “just ok”.<\/p>\n

These photos are courtesy of Gary Brown at Stage Images<\/a> – he’s doing a lot of photography for live shows now and prints are available online. Gary is kind enough to spend a little time taking pictures of the musicians which they REALLY appreciate. Pit orchestras are usually overlooked when it comes to photo opportunities, so players rarely have pictures of themselves playing their instruments.<\/p>\n

But Gary, I think I should point out that all of these musicians are devlishly handsome except for me. I think you accidentally hit the “ugly” button when you took my photos. Does anyone know a good photoshop airbrush artist?<\/p>\n

UPDATE 04\/07 – Gary took some new pics of me and I really like them. Check out the KEYTAR PHOTOS<\/a> – Thank you Gary!<\/p>\n
