Band Photo Day: What Parents Need to Know
Iron City Studios partners with schools to photograph instrumentalists and auxiliaries throughout the year. Depending on your school's program, photography may include individual portraits, small group photos, full band photos, performance images, and section photos.
Individual & Band Photos
During a traditional Band Photo Day, we photograph individual band members, small groups, and the full band. These images may be used by the school for yearbook or promotional purposes and parents will have the opportunity to order photos of their student.
Your school may choose either a traditional photography style or a composite style.
- Traditional Photos: Band members are photographed in the environment where the band performs.
- Composite Photography: Individual student photos are taken to digitally produce a final composite group image - a great option for larger bands.
How Do I Order?
Band photos are available through an online gallery. Parents can order online with flexible ordering deadlines and orders can be shipped directly to your home.
Available products may vary by school but can include prints, magnets, ornaments, buttons, mugs, acrylic blocks, metal bag tags, statuettes, banners, yard signs, and other specialty products.
What About Performance Photos?
Iron City Studios may also photograph your band during scheduled games, competitions, or special events. Some programs may offer additional Performance Day coverage that allows parents to have their specific band member photographed during a scheduled game or event.
Performance Day images are delivered through an online gallery and can be downloaded and used for social media, printing, or sharing with family and friends.
Our Goal: Celebrate your band member while making the photography experience as easy as possible for your family.
