CELEBRATING WITH TEAM BANNER

Celebrating Historic Season for Varsity Cross Country Team

Kentucky Country Day's Boys and Girls Varsity Cross Country teams had historic performances this season.  To celebrate both teams winning Regional Runners Up title and earning spots at the State Championship meet, we decided to celebrate with a team banner.

We had a great time creating it.  After practice on Tuesday the kids donned their competition uniforms and came in for individual photo sessions in front of a green screen.  It took about 45 minutes to capture all 18 team members.  The most difficult part was getting serious expressions from the kids...a couple barely pulled it off and one athlete couldn't help but smile so we went with it.

That evening I quickly composited the images together and customized the banner for the team and sent it off to the lab in Michigan.  Thursday afternoon I received a beautiful 60x40 team banner and smaller 16x20 banners for the individual athletes. 

The kids, coaches and parents loved proudly displaying the banner in the team tent at the State Championship meet, as well as, at the end of season banner.  It also generated a ton of buzz for the team at school.

The girls enjoyed it so much they recreated their poses in front of the banner at the State Meet.
