DescriptionTen young men and boys in band uniforms pose in front of a barren hilltop. Two young men have mustaches. One of them, evidently the bandleader or conductor, wears a military style coat with epaulettes. Some band members hold fifes. Five drums and a baton are on the ground. One of the drums is inscribed: "Eagle Drum Corps / Southington, CT." A man stands beside a flag on the summit of the hill in the background.
