Description

Formal photo of the Chicago Staff band, with all the musicians wearing their festive uniforms. Four percussion instruments are in front of the people seated in the first row, including a vibraphone, a snare drum, and two kettle drums. A man and woman in the first row are wearing dark blue Salvation Army uniforms, suggesting they are in leadership positions rather than musician roles. The musicians playing the largest horns are standing in the back row and a piano can be seen on the right background. The photographer, H.A. Atwell, is stamped in the lower left corner. The back of the photo has a handwritten note which reads: "Special Efforts Dept / The Salvation Army Staff Band / 719 N. State St Chicago / Director Broughton".
