Elizabethton Wins AAA Category - Smoky Mountain Band Competition - Oct 24, 2009
Last night I had the privilege to watch and photograph some of the best H.S. bands in the area. When I saw that the Elizabethton H.S. band was competing, it was a special occasion for me because, 1 my great niece was competing with this band but, 2 I was a member of this award winning band in the mid '60s. I am adding several of the images I shot in no particular order. I hope you enjoy them.

University of Tennessee Photo Students - Winners at the 2009 TN Valley Fair Photo Contest
WOW - UT photo students do it again. Last year (2008) our UT photo students walked away with a ton of ribbons (see the 2008 photos of UT student winners in a previous post on this blog below). This year (2009), the number of winning ribbons and 'Best of Show' winners is even more impressive. The total number of photo entries this year was reportedly to be more than 700, the largest entry volume in the history of the fair photo contest. This makes the UT wins even more impressive.
I want to congratulate each of you for your obvious effort and expression of talent. I also want to congratulate all of our instructors and helpers for doing such a wonderful job of teaching, helping, encouraging and making this event such a success for not only the contest winners but for the Photography Certificate Program of the UT Professional and Personal Development Department.
I have requested that every winner who is a UT PPD photo student send me their winning images with category and placement. I am still missing some winners, so if you are a UT photo student and won a ribbon and you are not listed here, please send me your information and I will add your images. tom
