The East Ridge Lancers Marching Band is comprised of 6th through 12th graders from the East Irondequoit School District in Irondequoit, N.Y. The band has practiced countless hours for their minutes-long performance during the halftime show of the annual homecoming fall game. The theme for the 2022-2023 school year was the Día de Los Muertos. These images were made with an on-location portrait booth, on the day of the homecoming game, on Oct. 1, 2022, in Irondequoit, N.Y.
