Academic 2012 favorite photo

When looking through the academic & community services section of the contest winners of the 2012 edition  of the Jostens photo contest, the one that is my favorite is a photo titled, "Drop the Bass". I liked this photo, because it really caught my eye, it has lots of color, and in my opinion I think its jut a really cool picture.
In my opinion this photo does not follow any other rules of composition, besides simplicity, and maybe framing.

1. One thing that I notice about all these photos in the contest, is that they all display action, actions and activities being displayed in the form of photography, so  I would say the best place to get a photo for this contest would be anywhere people are doing something.
2.As of this moment, I don't really have any specific ideas for whose classroom I would like to shoot in. I just have not really thought of which one is most probable to have things going on.
3.To get amazing photos, like the ones displayed in this contest, I will attempt to find scenarios in which multiple rules of composition are followed, swell as looking at things in a different angle, and different perspective not just what I see with my eyes before me.
