A black-and-white photograph by Kenneth Royster of a group with young trombone players. In the foreground of the image are two (2) young boys each playing a trombone. The boy on the left has his trombone angled up and has a towel on his head. There are various people standing behind the boys. Most are wearing white and some are wet, presumably from a baptism. The figure directly behind the boys is drying his head with a towel. There are numerical inscriptions on the reverse.
