Stock show blows in to town!

From the last 10 years with the exception of 2 rain outs I have shot the Fort worth stock show parade. every year this thing seems to grow and expand unbelievably to the tune of almost 2 hours!
Never have been that hip on shooting parades due to most of it being staged! On the other hand, there is a lot of writers and participants from my coverage area, so it gets me out of town and in the mix!
And then again, you find a shot like the one above! For me this shot made the whole trip worth it, although the participant wasn't from my coverage area. A visual moment where everything came together at one time, the Boca, the reflection, the light reflected from a building onto the tuba player, gave me the shot I needed for being there!
I have found over the years no matter what your subject is there are little moments swirling within the big picture, you just have to learn to be patient and wait on them, and when the photo gods align, it's almost surreal!
