It was a fair and clear evening. I arrived early to layout my course of action to document the Zumbathon Fundraiser for a dear friend of ours, Sharon Steele, the Zumba Instructor extraordinaire. Needless to say our education and sports programs in California are under funded or have zero funding by the State so schools nowadays have to think out of the box to raise money for their programs. In this case the Castro Valley High School Soccer Team did their second Zumbathon Fundraiser this past Saturday, 11/12/2011, on their beautiful soccer/football field.
Sharon Steele always lends her time and resources to support Bay Area Communities to do fundraisers like this. Sharon invited 8 outstanding Zumba instructors to help her through this 2 hour Zumbathon. The field was filled with great energy, beautiful smiles and a mist of hard earned Zumba sweat. What a night!
I arrived early and I was greeted by Coach Dave. I saw the stage and I made my way to it. I placed my tripod in the middle of the second tier of the bleachers to mark my wide shot behind the stage. The football/soccer field look so beautiful I had to take some pictures of it. I managed to take some great pictures of kids playing soccer on the field. They were nice enough to pose in a few specific soccer positions for me.
Slowly but surely more and more people walked onto the field.
And the party got started!
