Update - January 2010: A black & white print attached to dark gray matboard which has been cut down resulting in irregular edges.

They each have a musical instrument except for the reclining drum major in the front row & a seated man dressed in a dark 3-piece suit holding a hat at side right of row two. Most of the men are dressed in light colored slacks & a dark uniform jacket with the letters M W A on the jacket front. Most all men have on dark uniform hats with a decorative medallion on crown center. The drum major's uniform is light colored. A large elevated bass drum is at center back with the dark letters M. W.
