Hope you like them.

Good pics!

Isn't it true... I see so many things through my view finder these days! Good thing that most of the things are once in a lifetime events!

Mike,
What camera were you using - is it the S2IS? - greats zoom shots - just wondering if mine will look that nice!

It is a Canon Rebel XT.

Well.... The s2 has like 10 or 12x zoom, correct? Then very possibly yes.
But definately yes if you get to sit in the middle of the stands or more towards the front row seating. During the show they kept telling everone to slide to the left to pack the rows more tightly. I ended up right behind a pole for composing the center shots.
Thanks for the comments.
