In my third year as a member in Marching Mizzou, I’ve started to notice different things on and around the field. Since I am in colorguard, I do not play an instrument, therefore, I can look around more at the football game versus at sheet music. I’ve always noticed journalists and photographers at the games, but now I am starting to see them differently. Since I can step into their shoes I notice the things they do to get a good shot and am thinking about how they have to be swift with everything they do. Because the games are so fast-paced I can see how difficult that can be. I also think after the game, as a habit, what would the headline be for the story? And what moment of the game do they choose to make the cover photo? It makes me really appreciate sports writers and the pressure they have to deal with. It is interesting after a few years being able to look at the games from a different perspective and playing two different roles at the games.
