Allegedly, during the summer some of the ceremonies involve more elaborate uniforms, but this was October, not summer. The band shown, on the other hand, was far from ordinary: it consisted only of drummers and trumpeters using old-fashioned valveless trumpets. It takes considerable skill to sound good with such instruments, and they sounded grand. Scanned from a photographic print. © 1997 Lawrence I. Charters
