This is certainly an interesting historical photo. I'm a band director and there are some instruments in the front that I don't recognize. Looks like a sort of rotary valved trombone-like instrument with a bell that is bent upwards. Perhaps some sort of saxhorn?

My Comment ! This man has fought steadily to block the freedom of information act. Its documented. He has fought years to fight the release of emails from Ronald Reagan. This blocking is almost assuredly to cover involvement in the Iran Contra Guns for Hostages program.
Anyway, Bush as Ex CIA was knee deep in the goings on.
The CIA played both sides against the middle as usual.
In my opinion that is why the middle east hates our country.
Becuause of CIA involvemet that causes blowback.

Sorry, Don't want to offend anyone that wants to view history without a knowledge of the facts.

I love all the people lined up actually on the capitol building. I'd like to see that happen next Tuesday. Ha!

Such a clear, well-preserved image. Just to imagine all the things that there were still to come in the great century ahead of them...
