My kids march in marching band for their HS, and it's funny because my kids aren't very athletic (although I'd say marching around carrying a sousaphone while playing is athletic) we treat it as you would a sports team, meaning we are "all in".
My daughter is thinking about getting a drone, and that got me thinking if I had a drone, would I be able to fly it in a way to get a decent overhead shot of a football field (they usually go 20yd line to 20 yd line, maybe the 30)? The shots wouldn't need to be clear enough to identify the individual marchers (you can tell, based on the timeframe, who is supposed to be where) I was just thinking it would help to have a different view of the performance during a practice
Does that make sense?
I agree you could get some cool shots, but there are rules about flying over people/crowds. From this site:
https://www.airmap.com/rules-to-fly-recreational-drones/
3. Don’t fly over people.
While you might think a popular beach might be a great place to capture a stunning view with your new drone, flights over people are not permitted. This can include over a group of people or even a single person not part of the associated flight crew. Practice good judgment and make sure to stay away from
stadiums, public events, and community events where large groups of people may congregate.
I thought it would be cool to get video of a football game at a local high school under the lights, but right now it is against the rules.
