Student Band’s Practice at Ermita de la Santa Cruz Ruins
While driving over Calle Chipilapa, I was lucky several school marching bands practicing for an upcoming student band competition in La Antigua Guatemala. In the background you can see La Ermita de la Santa Cruz Ruins, a popular venue for music concerts. I published a rather plain photo of La Ermita before on July 19th, 2006. If you follow the link, you can read more information about the ruins and the concerts that have taken place there.
I am hoping to be free and alert for the student bands competition so I can snatch a few shots for you.

The girls are so pretty — I am glad they are confident enough to play the drum! Too many times it’s a male domain over here.
