We started the year at 2560. And we already have some photos using a drone that our media folks own. Only issue is we have to fly the drone really low to get the fidelity of photo we are looking for with over 2500 cadets on parade. Its not as easy as you think.
We're working some ideas, but I am probably going to start with a photo taken from the top of Duncan, with the entire Corps in formation in front of Duncan, lined up on the sidewalks going north (several vintage photos on this thread of the Corps formed like that). Can we get the entire Corps in that photo? Doubtful. But then again, none of the photos taken from Duncan shown in earlier threads show the entire Corps either. But we'll start with that, then continue to work the photos of the Corps in the center of the Quad using a drone.
And by the way, the Corps forms up for formation pretty much as described above, with the Corps formed in the center of the Quad, around the flag pole. When we form for step-off on game day, the Corps Staff is north of the flag pole, major units on the 2 parade decks, and the Aggie Band is still on the sidewalks in front of dorms 9 & 10. Cannon is back in the center of the Quad to fire, right in front of the original plaque commemorating where the cannon first fired on the Quad back in the 80s.
Again, once we have some good photos to show, we'll share on this thread and our social media forums.
