[Photograph 2012.201.B1056.0421]

Photograph used for a newspaper owned by the Oklahoma Publishing Company. Caption: "WE DID IT, BOY-The two extremes of a championship band are shown above. One is a drum major, the chap who wears the highest shako, fanciest, braidiest uniform and struts ahead of the players. The other is the director, who gets no uniform at all, particiates in none of the paradess, concerts or contests, but remains behind the scenes always."
